Picked up a Savage 24V-A in .222 Rem over 20ga. Bought it from the original owner who still had the original box of cartridges he purchased the same day. Has no wear at all. Very tight, very clean. I have been searching online and at the local library. Can find lots of information on the 24V but not a 24V-A. Anyone know how odd or rare the "-A" is and what it means?
Just differences in the design of the gun, usually something small and even unnoticable.
Not rare, not even a model, just a design indicator.
Kind of like a model 4, then they make a washer a hair smaller, now it becomes a 4A, get what I'm saying?
C's - were camper companion, shell holder in the stock and a take down soft case 1972
D's - had checkered stocks with "white line grip cap and butt plates
FG - field grade
V's - were .222 over 20 ga, new in 1967 1972 .30-30 was added, receivers were tapped, 1979 .357 was added. 1980 .22 hornet,
24s - side lever open, was a 22rf over 20 or 410
24ms - was a 22mag over 20 or 410
24f - polymer stock 12 or 20 topped with choice of 22lr, 22 hor, .223 or .30-30
24f12t - 12ga camo hornet or .30-30
24vs - camper/survival, 357 over 20, nickle finish, butt stock & pistol grip
24va - ?
1975 the 2400 was introduced in 12ga / .308 and 12ga / .222 2 year run
242 was a over under 410 with the barrels separated like the 24 series guns 1977
think "A" is the "new" selector button change

Yeah i get what you are saying Mad Dog. Blue Avenger the link was a help. Looked at some original catalog pages there and you guys were right. the 24V was the 222 over 20 and later also offered as a 30-30 over 20 as well. I guess the 24V was the first variant, and the 24V-A was the second revision. Now I just wonder about the value.
Thanks Guys.
With no wear at all your gonna get $425+ easy for it.
Thanks for the estimate. Yeah, i have yet to see a nicer 30+ year old gun. The blue is 100%, the wood 98%. A lot of rifles I have saw with the open sights, the first thing you notice is worn blue off the top of the front sight, and the second is wear around the edges of the muzzle from going in and out of cases or sleeves. But this one has no wear at all. The only damage is a very light crack on the right side of the rear stock where it mates to the receiver. I am told this is very common on these 24s. the gentleman I bought it from was the original owner and he said he bought it to go on a "business hunt" with some fellows from his office at that time. I suppose kinda like a golf game among business men. Any way he said he fired 1/2 of box of 20ga., and 4 rounds of .222 over that weekend, came home cleaned 'er and give it a good coat of oil, and its been in his closet ever since. Kinda like the classic car owned by the little ol' lady that only just drive it to church on sunday. He even had the orignal boxes of shells and cartridges he bought with it. Sounds like by your estimate I got a hell of a deal.
Thanks of all of your help guys.
