What’s Included
- Savage Model 24 V-A combination gun with GunPac ventilated recoil pad (installed)
The break-action design uses a single exposed hammer with a barrel-selector toggle, allowing instant choice between rifle and shotgun shots. The 20-gauge barrel is chambered for 3" shells and carries a fixed Improved-Modified choke, making it ready for everything from upland birds to small game.
The .222 Remington rifle barrel features a 3/8-inch grooved rail for easy scope installation and retains its factory iron sights: a ramped post front and folding-leaf adjustable rear. Both barrels measure 24 inches and are finished in polished blued steel that matches the blued steel receiver.
Walnut furniture with crisp checkering offers a secure, traditional grip. The aftermarket GunPac ventilated recoil pad not only softens felt recoil but also extends the length of pull to 15 inches, accommodating taller shooters.
Factory wildlife engraving—depicting a fox chasing a pheasant—adds distinctive visual interest and confirms this piece as an original factory-engraved example. Serial prefix “A” dates production to the early 1970s, aligning with the classic styling and build quality collectors expect from this era of Savage Arms.
