I too am a fan of the Savage 24 models and have a 222/20 and a 22LR/410. The little Stevens gets far more use around the place than the centerfire - it has been used to dispatch many skunks, possums, and even a badger. A fairly full-choked 410 with 6 or 7.5 shot at the typical varmint range of under 30 yards is all these little creatures require. If they're farther than that, well, just flip the switch and use the rifle. It would be nice if the cost of 410 shells was proportional to their size instead of inversely proportional but at least they're readily available. For the relatively few that I run through it isn't a big deal.
Just FYI as far as I know Savage never packaged the 410 with a centerfire rifle cartridge. They actually started making a 22 (LR or WMR) over 410 combo again, the Model 42, but to my eyes it is quite ugly compared to the previous Model 24.

It was an Allis-Chalmers tractor dealership,
