thoughts on the savage over/under .410/.45 long?

[spectre327]

I've had my eyes on the newer savage .410 with the over under barrel. Has anyone had any experience with them and what are your considerations?

Um, you'd better look again.

I don't believe that those are chambered for .45Colt.

They are available in .22Lr or .22wmr/.410, but I've not seen one to take the .45Colt.

The concept is a great one. I have the older version known as the model 24, and it's a great little squirrel/rabbit rifle/shotgun combo.

THe newer model is known as the model 42, but I've not seen them chambered for .45Colt.

Sorry you're right, .22lr/.410

My worry was how to sight it in

You sight in the .22 lr and don't worry about the .410.

They're fun little things. Nice to take small game hunting or let kids shoot.

I have the rifle that you're talking about. It's the Savage Model 42. It's a nice little rifle. The only 2 things i don't like about it is it's a youth model so the stock is just a little too short for me. Also the rear leaf sight is a little small and it's kinda hard to use. I plan on making the rear sight a little better with a dremel to fix that and i'll probably just leave the stock as is.

Nice little guns for small game hunting but too heavy to carry very long. I use mine for squirrels, works great.
