long guns Value of a Savage 24V

[enfield]

I'm interested in opinions, learned or otherwise, on the real-life value of a Savage 24V in .222 Remington over 20 gauge.  I see what they're asking on the web, but actual sale prices are what I'm looking for.  It's a used gun, some scratches on the stock but both bores are perfect.  3X9 Bushnell scope mounted on it.  I have a friend who wants to buy it, but I've owned it so long I don't even remember what I paid for it.

That’s definitely one of the more desirable combos.

The 222 cal. Was introduced in 1967 nice cal. The action was changed to under lever opening in front of trigger guard in 1980. The 24v was mfg. 1967 to 1989. Just some background on this Savage. From my 2012 Blue Book the Sav. Alone at 100% is $500 hopefully this helps.

.222 is a weird vibe with people. Some see it as a dying caliber, but some love it. 

Does it say Series ? after the 24V on the gun?

On Gunbroker looks like $460 to $550 Is the range of recent sales ( actually sold units). Some with and some without scopes. Condition varried, but most were pretty good looking.

I have a couple 30-30 over 20ga units and a Stevens. 22/.410.  I want a .357 over 12ga. Fat chance I can afford that. 24's are great guns. If you are interested in reading more about the history, this is a great site.

My brother had one years ago that was a .22 over 20 gauge. I would like a .357 or 12 gauge too. Sounds like an awesome setup.

Rifle is SPF sold for $500.  It is a C series, and my research says that it was made in the late '70's,  I've owned it about 35 years.

Thanks for all the help!

 I'm not a Savage 24 expert, but have been researching them for a few years and do own a few. I have a Savage 24V in .222/20 gauge, and a few other caliber/gauge combinations, including one of the elusive 24C Camper's Companion models. The prices are all over the page on the Savage 24s. Some think they scarcer than hen's teeth and therefore should be worth a king's ransom. I have them in the following rifle calibers: .22LR, .22Mag., .22 Hornet,  .222, .30-30, .357Mag. In some of these I have multiples of the same caliber. On the bottom (shotgun) barrels, I only have .410 & 20 gauge. Like I said, I'm no expert, but in these guns, one needs to physically examine each gun to determine it's fair market value. The condition of the gun can swing the value quite a bit. To show you the wide range of prices on these guns, I've paid in a range of $75.00 to $550.00 over the last 10 to 15 years. The price is also affected considerably by the caliber of the rifle barrel. The .357 Mag and .22 Hornet are very near the top. There seems to be more .222s on the Gun Broker site than any other caliber. Sometimes, the Gun Broker prices are a bit higher than the "local" market. Some of the .222s have been "re-chambered" to .223 caliber, and some of the .22 hornets have been re-chambered to .22 K-Hornet. Unmodified Savage 24s bring more than modified ones. The normal faults that apply to any other gun also apply to the Savage 24...rust, pitting, worn bluing, original furniture and finish, and cracks or splits in the furniture. Unless your gun is in one of the extremes of good or bad, I'd say it would probably fit into the range of $350 - $450. That's just my "opinion"...and we all know what they say about opinions! This has been lengthy, but I hope it helps. No one wants to pay too much, and no one wants to sell a gun too cheap. If both parties are happy...it's a good deal. IMHO

Man I envy you. I want a .357 soooo bad. I missed one by $20 on gunbroker a while back.

Ron, I realize this post has been on here a while, but like many others, I hang out on different sites for a while and move around. Sorry you missed the .357 Mag. I like mine, but my prized Savage 24 is a  24V-D in a .22 Hornet/20 Gauge.

You have one of the less common ones in that Hornet. You know you don't need both. You could live without the .357 

I saw a hornet model for sale somewhere the other day. Not many go up for sale. 

I have a 30-30/20ga that I really like. I just love the idea of a .357 Model paired with a good .357 wheelgun. 

[Sidewinder]

Yeah, that .357 May is probably #2 right behind the .22 Hornet. I imagine my 24C Camper's Companion in .22LR/20 Gauge, with 20" barrels is probably #3. I've been working on getting these guns for years.
