Yes, still available. Standard and "take-apart" Favorite for $170 at some places. Now I'm thinking of buying a new one. I have several of the originals.

Jde I just had to look up the Savage Arms co on the internet. I'm sure the dealers don't charge the prices listed.( I'm probably wrong, as I usually am), when we bought the pistols, on the rack(glass inclosed) was a Winchester BDl 300 Winchester rifle,No checkering, No Stainless barrel,just a plain jane for the low price of,$1.027.99. Now that makes ours one heck of a lot higher priced. Their rifle had NO recoil Pad.Shoulder and arm displacer if you ask me. I'm now to old to hunt and bones are way to weak. but the 300 winchester mag is still my favorite rifle. Savage isn't so cheap either, acording to their web site. Like the pictures though. We do have in our arsenal a 22 mag made by Marlin Arms magazine tube fed.we own a couple different models of 22's. Charter arms take down (survival rifle),a lever action olde but goodie that is now out of production(winchester arms).Single shot would be interesting to have as a learning rifle for a young man to use. Warmest regards LOU.
36- the old RF Rolling Blocks didn't always have the recessed rims of todays rifles. Add in some wear leading to some excessive headspace and the event you describe can happen, especially if the FP has a sharp tip and the rifle has been dry fired a bunch. With a newly manufactured rifle like the Savage the problems simply don't exist.

Neat!
I have a 22 and a 32.
We always used the 32 to kill with. Would drop a bull in his tracks.

OK. Now that you showed me your's, I have to reciprocate.
Guns are about the only thing I never sell and only buy. And, I don't recall any gun I've ever owned going down in value. Cash value AND intrinsically.
I've got a pre-64 Winchester Model 70 in 300 H&H Magnum, 270, and 30-06. All are great shooters but the 270 seems to be the most accurate. Ammo is kind of steep for the 300 H&H and I assume the same with your 300. When I used to shoot it a lot I did my own reloading.
I still have a special fondness for .22 single-shots. I have Stevens Crackshots and Favorites, Remingtons, Floberts, Winchester and Marlin bolt-actions, etc.
The oddest of the bunch is a tiny little bolt-action single-shot made in Michigan by a company named Hamilton. Hamilton #27 break-open single-shot, made in Plymouth Michigan in 1901. Boy's rifle with a 14.5" barrel. Great little shooter.
Also got a strange little Mossberg pistol with a four-chamber barrel and a rotating firing pin. Mossberg "Brownie" four-shooter in .22

When I was a young boy, the cheap gun was an over/under with a .22 and a 410 under. They were a cheap varmine gun. With a single shot of each, it won't help you take out an enemy gun implacement or assist in retaking our country from the communists, but for killing stray dogs trying to get to the chickens, it was perfect. They were dirt cheap as well. I wonder why they don't still make them? I know that a far more expensive version is currently make, but the simply flip tube over/under is no where.

My first gun was a single shot Stevens 22. Christmas present from grandpa when I was 12.
It was a bolt but I never liked having to insert the bullet into the chamber as it had to be just so to go in. Something you could drop the bullet in would have been faster.
Nice fall day and a fresh box of 22 shorts was worth waking up early for.

I'm talking about the cheap ones, not the high end things they sell for over $800 nowadays. Were you able to get the shorter CHEAP one? I loved those things, also. If you miss the neighbors theiving mutt with the .22, the 410 will drop him with the chicken still in it's recently silenced and getting colder mouth. As you can imagine that's important, as that chicken killers master's first words will be, "My sweet little doggy doesn't kill chickens"! And when you can get one of those priceless gems for under a $100, happy days are here again.

Jde. Gotta say those fire arms are quite valuable.You are quite right about the expensive ammo for the 300 w Mag. The pistol you show has to be unique .The single shot Bolt acion was one of the first guns I squirrel hunted with in Indiana.(MARLIN). The folbert has to be a collectors item. Such a neat fire arm. I am wondering how many Mossberg Brownie's are left out there?That particular gun is one I have NEVER SEEN NOR HEARD ABOUT.That one has to be up there with the 38=55 Craig lever action rifle with octagon barrel, along side with the 410 pistol. The pistols (derringers) are fasinating to me as well. Your Mossberg Brownie takes the prize. Like you, I wouldn't sell any of em as all now belong to Victor. Nothing like keeping em in the family, especially if LOUIS takes an interest in hunting/plinking/ or just to know there is a part of history available to hold in your hand. Swell pictures. Warmest regards, LOU.

My sister still has her old Ithaca Model 49 single-shot falling block lever action...and it's not for sale. I tried to buy it 15 years ago, back when my son was a teenager.
She gave $29.95 + 2% sales tax when she bought it back in the 1960's.
She gave $29.95 + 2% sales tax when she bought it back in the 1960's.
The rifle was in good condition.The shell rim split opposite the firing pin area.Old 22 ammo does split a lot but my ammo was fresh and I got some rim splits in a new Ruger single action with the same ammo.The cartridge is just too close to your eye on these guns.New made or old they are dangerous.
The one I bought was around $150. Maybe 10 years ago. Savage as I recall. It was a new "remake" with cheap and poorly fitted wood. The originals that probably sold for $25 when new are worth a lot more now. I see them $200 up to $600.
I've seen them in .22/410 gauge, .22 magnum/20 gauge, and .223/12 gauge.
When it comes to guns, nothing is cheap anymore. Even beat-up single shot 22s that I used to buy at auctions for $25 are now often over $200.

You and Bob may be referring to the old Savage "campers companion " single shot combination 22/shotgun sold in variuos configurations. Last I knew they were becoming a sought -after collectors item . I agree in general gun values have climbed pretty rapidly over the last few years .
With these kinds of rifles, with that particular problem, dry fired, doesn't that peen over the metal, and a tool like a barrel swage can remedy it ? Rolling block, not sure what that is, associated with breach loading types ?
I bought a marlin 783 .22 wmr, for $60, that needed a thorough cleaning, in unknown condition, though a tube fed bolt action, that appeared to have peened over chamber, but turned out to be ever so slight, that tool did not need to do much to get it right again. I think more of the problem ended up being the extractor and feed throat which I replaced, the barrel swage tool I got from Brownell's sure is worth having if working on many of these older .22's. Ended up getting the action to operate smooth, still does not feed right, likely the cartridge lifter, I think it will be a fun little plinker and varminter, said and done under $100 into it, and I enjoyed working on it more than my day job !

H&R/NEF makes a .22 break top single shot Sportster, based on the Pardner shotgun frame (SB1) not the Handi-rifle (SB2) frame.

I've got an Ithaca 49 as well, nice falling block and fun to shoot.
With all due respect, the Savage 24 does not have a "weak chamber" because of the ejector. With the action closed a properly fitted ejector has very little clearance and any split rim gases will be deflected tot he side by that massive standing breech.
Yes, a split rim can happen with any gun and any RF ammo, but with a properly chambered rifle in good repair the gas will be deflected to the side by the breech block or bolt. I'll bet dollars to doughnuts your old RB was a take down, had a worn breech block screw and that it didn't have correct headspace. I'm sorry you got injured, that part of the reason we're al supposed to be wearing safety glasses when ever we shoot any gun or work with any tool. But there is no more danger from a properly set up RB or falling block or rocking block RF action that's in good condition than there is from a $2500.00 Cooper bolt gun. OTH, take any rifle that's been abused or worn a bit and add in some less than trustworthy ammo and you have the makings for an accident.
