I have came across a Savage model 24 that I might be able pick up for a decent price. The 410 barrel looks perfect but the 22 barrel has some miner pitting from the chamber to the middle. The rifling is still quite evident though. My question is how much will this affect accuracy and the price? The gun overall is decent, needs to be reblued and stocks refinished which I can do myself, but I am a little concerned with the bore.:confused:
 
I would buy it if it was cheap. They go for what $400 in good shape now? If it needs refinishing and the barrel is bad and you really want it go as high as $200. I personally would start real low at a hundred or so.
 
That's what I was thinking as well price wise, figured I might go as high as $250, but that would be tops. Still debating this one or just buying a new baikal 22/410.
 
Minor pitting perhaps? Depends on how minor. It may or may not bother the accuracy at all. Definitely affects the value though. Mind you, Savage 24's aren't target rifles. Had a .223 over 20 gauge briefly. Didn't shoot worth beans.
Biggest difference between a Savage and a Baikal is that you can get Savage parts if you need 'em. Not so much for Baikals.

Chiappa has a nice 410/22lr combo available right now. Has two triggers for separate firing of barrels and folds up on itself for back-packing.

Any idea on who carrys these? I'm not looking for a target rifle, just something for small game having the option if a partridge or cottontail is a little to far out of range for the shotgun I have the 22.
