22LR over 20ga Full Choke, 24" bbls soldered the whole length. I recently paid $400 even for a 24S-C in. You can't wedge the fully soldered barrels to correct it, so if you get a bad one you are out of luck. If you can, pattern the gun before you buy and make sure the regulation is relatively decent. That, imo, would be a far more versatile 24, and the shotgun shells wouldn't be so darn expensive. 22 over 20ga with a proper wooden stock, that still has the fully soldered barrels. If you keep looking, there was a few years in the 60s where they made a. The older ones with the barrels soldered the whole length are typically regulated better than the newer ones with the separate barrels, too.

They don't string as bad with repeated firing. The solid soldered barrels are a plus, if the regulation is good.

If you are looking for a shooter for real use, I'd pass. It will appreciate faster than the US dollar will inflate. If you are looking for a safe-queen as an investment that will never get shot, go for it. IMO, you've got a collector rifle there, not a shooter.
