Am interested in what you all think of the Savage Model 42 22 long rifle over 410? Pros/cons are appreciated.
One particular question I’d have is could a peep sight be installed on the rear? I have a hard time seeing the rear v but can shoot quite well using a rear peep.
Or should I hold out for a Savage Model 24 instead? I see their barrel is 24” instead of the 20” barrel on the newer model 42.
Thanks all!

https://www.chiappafirearms.com/family.php?id=12Might be a better option and brand new for same price as a beat up 24. I have several 24's and always looking for more. Lots of people bash them but darn sure won't sell you one! Who would've thought a new 24 was less than $300 in the day and now used and rare for $800.
Trash your goals and plans for life. Just wing it and you'll never be let down!

Friend of mine had a savage over under in 223/12 gauge. The idea was coyote calling versatility. He had a scope for a sight with a see thru mount. I watched him shoot at a coyote about 200 yards away. Beaded down on it and touched one off. Had the selector in the wrong position. Shotgun barrel was loaded with 3 inch #4 buck. Cracked him pretty good with the scope. Cut his eyebrow, left a bruise. I was laughing to hard to take a shot at the now running coyote. He never shot it again. Sold it taking a loss for the now used rifle.

I have my dads model 24, .22/.410. I have the receipt with it. My mom bought it for him in the mid 60’s for an anniversary present. $37.50. Wouldn’t that be nice ???

Who would've thought a new 24 was less than $300 in the day and now used and rare for $800. That's a painful truth. I've owned a couple of them over the years and let them go. I'm pretty sure I paid $200 for them individually and now you're lucky to find one for under $600.

If you want a new over under, I would recommend the chiappa double badger. Less expensive than the savage 42, better quality, in my opinion.

Was really thinking about having the 410/22 combo because I have no shotgun for rabbits, grouse and such. I have a Winchester Model 62 22 that shoots shorts, longs and long rifle so don't really need another 22. Just thought the combo gun even if it is a single shot might be a good idea.
Since I have a very good, useable 22 should I buy a shotgun instead? Where I currently live there are lots of squirrels, a fair number of rabbits, but am not sure about grouse. Never was a duck hunter.

The Chiappa Double Badger is heavy, the extractors have issues, and I cannot hit a pie sized plate at 40 yards consistently with the sights they have on it. I was hoping for a good back pack gun but I wont be packing it anywhere. It does do a fair job behind the back door

I love my double badger-carry it on the trapline for small game meat and dispatch if ever necessary.I made a leather moosehide gunsock for it when folded,so easy to carry and quickly available off the 4 wheeler. Shoot it several times every day I am out on the line potting grouse. The choke pattern is nice and tight for a shorter barreled gun. The peepsight is great for the shotgun,not so good for the 22 mag for me.If I shot the 22 more I'm sure it would be fine,just not used to peep sights on a rifle. I have shot a couple of beaver with it.

Forget that fear of gravity-get a little savagery in your life.

Buy a pump 12 gauge.

Buy a pump 12 gauge. Lots of .20 ga. available and when Trump wins it'll be even more. Kelly if you really want a nice fun and cool looking gun, I'd highly suggest a SxS 20, specifically I like the CZ Bobwhite G2. They can be had for around $600 and you'll have a gun worth passing on to the next few generations. Fun to shoot, dependable and nostalgic look everyone loves. https://www.google.com/search?q=cz+...nUS905&safe=off#imgrc=b8r3ysdvcNMuvM

I'd shoot that Jayme! I've never had a side by side but it's on my list
