Savage 24F 17HMR/12ga & 17/20ga
I have a NIB Savage 24 17HMR/12ga, synthetic stock, screw out factory choke, with all factory literature, etc. and a 17/20g, NIB (minus literature) , synthetic stock, fixed choke. Can anyone help me establish the re-sell value, rareity, and general desireablity of these guns?

Combo24...welcome to the GB Forum and thanks for your question. I have an older Savage 24C O/U in 20g/.357 which is rather rare. These guns are great for travel as they break down nicely. I have mine scoped and it does well on critters and such. While I am not sure about your two, I would think that they also would be good afield with the .17 setup. Few of mine were made and it is worth somewhere in the $450/500 range as the .357 caliber is rather rare. Not sure about the value of yours....you should check the Auction side for values[:)] 0 -

Thanks to you both. I have dug up about 6-8 compelted auction/classifieds on similar guns. Prices have ranged anywhere from 400-800, none were new in box. What I'm having trouble judging is - are they rare AND DESIREABLE, or just rare because they have a limited appeal. Any thoughts on the "collectibility"?? [?]0 -
The most desirable are the .223/12ga or 20 and the 30-30/12ga or 20
And they go for $550 or more, and without the box.0 -
One of my first guns as a kid was a Savage 22LR/410 3". It is still in the family. I had a H&R combo bbl set 22 Hornet and 20 3" and it was ok. The Hornet bbl was heavy but with a Lyman 310 tool I could load for it, the 20 was enough when loaded for as 3".
I don't see the 24's as collectable as much as shooters. Centerfire, screw in choke, synthetic stock are pluses in my book.
I wish they made a 7mm Rem Mag over a 3.5" 12.0 -
Thorhammer and Charlie, thanks for the input. I agree the 223/XX and 30-30/XX are the more desireable "working" guns (as Charlie put it). I also own both of those combos, the 30-30/20g being my personal favorite.
I liked the way you put it Charlie - Savages are more of a "working" gun, maybe a little out of place beside some gunsafe queens.0 -
Still looking for more input on these 17HMR combos. Any input/opinions on usefullness, desireability, etc, is greatly appreciated.
I'm sure they were low production numbers but I have yet to get a feel for just how many may have been produced.
My thinking is - both of theses aspects will effect the value of the gun. Tell me what you think!0 -
Sold the 17/12g for $600, got the feeling I could have done a little better on it though.
Anyone got an opinion on the 17/20g?
Thanks0 -
Check out Savage24.com. There are a lot of folks that like the Savage 24 out there. The 17HMR models though are kind of iffy on how well they sell. The 12GA versions usually go best however, as there were fewer of those made as they were the last ones. The 357 as noted is a favorite also. The Camper models usually sell well also. Actually, i've been watching for years, and when you put one on the auction side and start it at a penny you will be amazed at how high it can go. Just put links in the General Discussion, and on things like Savage24.com as well. Or hang on to it and shoot it. They are not making any more of them after all! 0 -
Thanks Jeffb,
Savage24 is where I found my buyer. I got a hit less that 24hrs after putting it up and by DUMB LUCK, he was even local to me. Worked out quite well overall.
My logic was the same as yours, the 17/12g would have more appeal than the 17/20g. Most of my experience with these have been either "hot" or "cold". Like them or no way - very little in between.
Agree with your 357 and camper observations. Who knows, one of these days I'll stumble across theses at good price and add them to the collection.
Thanks again.
