Price Check - Savage Model 24s

You're going to be looking at around $550.00 for that model $600 if it's in nice shape. The 30-30/20's run around $650 and the 357magnum versions will go for about $700.00 if they're nice.
 
Thanks for the replies. Despite being an inexpensive plain jane utilitarian gun in its day, the Model 24 seems to fetch a relatively high price now. I'm assuming this is because it has a following, being a combo gun that is is no longer made. (Its my understanding that the older Model 24's were better than the newer ones.)

Let me ask this... But is the Model 24 a reliable shooter? Are there any known "issues" with Model 24's, such as parts prone to breakage, extraction problems or difficulty with barrel calibration?
 
Some models had the selector on the right side that were Buhbhuadded.
I had one years ago and for the life of me couldn't figure out what the
roar was about.
The .410 did it's part, but the 22rim wasn't so accurate.
There was a post I read way back on a chap that made his accurate.
I don't have the taste buds for this anymore.
I took the notion to own one of each, so a .410 sxs and a few 22's.
Much better now.........
 
I don't think the Savage would be my first choice in a combo gun--in fact it wasn't. Not too long ago I wanted a combo gun for hunting coyote in my part. I picked up a CZ /Brno in 12 gauge over .222 . Perfect for what I want. Much better quality as far as I'm concerned and the gun is like new. I paid $700.00.
 
The Savage 24v's are really quite nice guns. I have a .222/20 that shoots 1" 5 shot groups with factory ammo (trigger pull was horrible before I fixed it though).
The 30-30/20 is a perfect truck gun. Simple, fast to use and very versatile. It weighs about 7 lbs.
These days the price jump to higher quality combo is not that much, but to me, 20 gauge is better in a combo for light weight, and the chambering choices are more "useful" than the European ones.
I also have a brno 308/12 and while it is a great gun, it is pretty heavy next to a Savage.

Rocket Surgery has the pricing about right.
All the savages (.22 hornet, .222, 30-30) I've used have had fairly good calibration between the barrels (slugs vs. rifle bullets), though some on the internet have found otherwise.
They are very reliable with the top break open lever design.
Sorry, I've never shot the .22 LR version.
Also, the 24c is highly regarded by those who own them.
