But if you are looking for a non-collector combo to drag around and tear up in the woods, and possibly cut on, then I think it's a better choice. They are pretty low-end guns, and the Savages were made a good bit better.
I heard a rumor that they were making them in.
They come threaded for chokes from the factory, have double triggers (albeit in the wrong order, but still double triggers lol), cost less than a decent-condition Savage 24C, and likely won't be regulated any more badly than the 24Cs I've had my paws on.
Most other were bored/reamed with full chokes I believe, since I can't recall ever seeing any issued with the barrels marked for any other choke. The fire selector was a small push button on the upper part of the trigger. The 2400 features a Superposed hammerless design with a single trigger. It is a completely new design and has little in common with the Model 24. Savage 24V/F Transition Model: I have limited information about this particular model.
If you are looking for a combo gun that is a shooter instead of a collector, I'd put the Savage in the safe and get you one of the Chiappa Double Badgers in. AFAIK, the 24C (Camper Model) had no choke because it was designed to be used in camping & survival-type situations - not hunting, per se. The Savage Model 2400 was made by Valmet of Finland and imported by Savage from 1975 to 1980. 2) The 24VS was a 24V Series D with barrels shortened to 20' and the nickel finish and wood upgrades and top tang release lever. If you thread it or rechamber it, you'll reduce the gun's collector value a good bit, and you'll end up with a whole pile of money into it, way more than it's worth. The Savage 24s are starting to become collector pieces.
My opinion isn't worth much, but here it is.
