Combo guns

[Ethan g]

First post on here so let's see how it goes. Does anyone run comb guns like the old Savage/Stephen's Model 24 or the newer Model 42? I have both a 22lr/410 and a 30-30/20g with red dots mounted on both. What's your favorite combination for what game animals?

Looks awesome

I missed out on a old 24v 222 rem/20 ga. That would be a good one for coyote's with today's ammo selection.

I always wanted a double gun for Turkey.

54 years ago when I was 12 my folks bought me a Savage model 24V in .222/20ga. We were far from well off at the time and I know it was a stretch on the budget. I shot more rabbits, skunks and 'coons than a fella can imagine. That gun lived in whatever pickup I was driving. Obviously it developed quite a patina from all of the use. Last January I gave it to a young man I've hunted with for many years. He and his wife just had their first child and told me when he's 10-12 it will be a birthday gift. That fills my heart.

On my 12th birthday (44 years ago) my parents gifted me a Savage 24VA in .222/20 GA. It has engraving of a turkey on one side and a fox on the other. Budget was tight so it was purchased used and I can’t say how much use it saw before I got it. I carried it spring turkey hunting a month later and used it for everything the next couple years until I got a pump shotgun for rabbit.
It has killed several white tails with 20ga slugs and countless groundhogs with the .222.

I’ve held on to Savage 24V for a long time. Originally was a 222/20ga. Someone apparently rechambered the rifle barrel to 223 rem. It’s in kinda rough shape, but I like it. I even picked up a cheap rifled chamber adapter 20ga/9mm for fun but I have not tried it out yet. It goes on grouse walks every once in a while. It won’t be stabilizing any 77gr TMKs with what I suspect is a 1/14” twist rate.

That sounds awesome. I can only imagine what a gun like that would bring today. Would love to get my hands on one someday.

About $500 msrp for the double badgers.

They've made some 243 and 223 over 20ga

Love the old Savage 24's
24V .223/20ga gets a lot of use after big game season is over. Grouse, huns, pheasent, coyote, fox and shot gunning squirrels. One of my favorites. Always looking for different combos like 30-30/20ga
Our 24C is a super accurate .22lr. Pop squirrels from the tops of pine trees. I break it down in my pack when hiking or skiing around forest roads in the winter.
