Stevens .22 / 410

Just did a little trading today and acquired one. Tomorrow for pictures, promise.
What's the scoop on these? Run of the mill or sought after or somewhere in between?

It is the famous model 24. I love em. www.savage24.com

That would actually be "famous" (infamous would mean they are aweful). They are reportedly a nice gun, haven't shot one my self.

They're a little heavy and because of the funny profile on the rimfire groves you might have trouble putting optics on it. There's quite a hump between the grooves. Pretty good shooter as is.
Supposedly the older models with the "button" barrel selector are a weak link.

They have a following.
I have had them over the years and don't seem to
hang onto them for some reason.
Not me cup of tea.........pity.

The older ones with the button select in nice shape seem to draw decent money. Watch out the button does not fall off & also sights can be loose and easily knocked out of whack or lost as well.
Great guns all of them.

I shot one a few times at the range, decent gun. I personally wouldn't buy one since I already have a 410 shotgun that I aquired for rice and beans. IMO the 22/410 is a nicely weighted gun or I thought.

I should add that I have the new version, the Model 42, which is kind of cheesy looking (plastic stock), but is quite light and shoots good. I much prefer the look of the 24 though, with wood stock.
