I have one of the very few 24V's in 12 gauge, a transition gun the year before the 24F's came out, crossbolt safety, scroll work identical to the 24F on the receiver and hardwood furniture. I find the 24V's to be liveable weight wise but they are all in 20 gauge, the 24F's in 12 gauge make the weight unbearable to me. 22 WMR rounds hit within a couple inches of one another at 50 yards, so I like that 24H-DL for a possible do all rambling around rifle. 223/12 gauge until I lifted one at a gun show. 22 WMR/3" 20 gauge wouldn't be enough for a coyote, I thought that I might like a 24V in a Hornet or. It came with a #24 Williams receiver sight on it which about doubles the sighting radius and sits low enough to still use the factory front sight. I traded a buddy a rusted single snowmobile trailer for it back in the '70's.
Probably a '64 then because the selector on mine is on the hammer. Thank you for checking back in on my question. I couldn't give you a value cause I haven't been following the prices lately, but last I knew(and that was a while ago, worth $500 without batting an eye) and if you do decide to sell, check Gunbrokers "completed sales" to get an idea what it is worth. Value wise the gun is worth a good chunk of change they are highly desirable as I stated earlier. H DL's preceded the J DL's and I assume yours has the selector switch on the receiver not on the barrel? If so, it would make it 63 or earlier, I believe in 64 they went to the selector in the hammer. 67 was the last year of the silver receiver, in 68 the J DL's went to the standard black receiver. I have 2 in there, one with a replacement trigger guard, both 1967 J DL's. Extremely accurate also because brazing the rifle barrel full length to the shotgun barrel makes it very stiff. May not be a rare chambering, but the "DL"'s with the brazed barrels are highly desired, especially with the silver receivers. Seeing only that one silver one like mine in Wink_man's post has me wondering if mine is a little out of the ordinary? Thanks. I haven't paid attention to the Savage 24 used market, but I'm remembering that most of the 24's that I've seen have the blued receiver. 22 mag/20 gauge has the silver colored receiver, trigger guard and gold trigger like the third one from the left of Wink_man's picture. Probably far from a rare chambering, my 24H-DL.
