I went to a gun show a few weeks back and lucked upon a Savage Model 24 like the one I had when I was a kid, looked very rough but the gun itself was sound. Refinished the stock and forend. This one was odd, had the takedown lever on the side. Know they offered a side lever model but it wasn’t real popular. I was also unfortunate to see the model 42 that they say is the replacement for the Model 24. Wasn’t impressed in the least, ugly is the first word that comes to mind, cheap looking being the 2nd. Anyone bought one of these ?
