There's a reason combination guns like this have stuck around for generations. The Savage 42 Takedown Compact carries on the legacy of the old Model 24 that rode in countless trucks and camp packs, pairing a .22 Long Rifle barrel on top with a .410 bore shotgun barrel underneath. Squirrels, rabbits, snakes, pest control around the property, plinking with the kids, one gun covers all of it. A selector on the hammer lets you choose which barrel fires, so you can load both and pick rifle or shotgun on the fly.
The takedown feature is what sets this Model 42 apart from the classics. Press a single button and the gun splits into two halves that stow in the Uncle Mike's Go Bag that comes with it. That makes it a natural for camping trips, ATV racks, boats, and cabin duty, anywhere you want a capable little gun that doesn't take up much room. Assembled, it measures just under 35 inches and weighs in around 4.7 pounds, so even a full day of carrying it won't wear you out.
This Compact version trims the length of pull to 12.5 inches, which is the sweet spot for youth and smaller-framed adults who struggle to get a proper cheek weld on full-size stocks. The black synthetic stock has a rubber butt pad and textured grip surfaces, plus sling studs already installed. It's a simple break-action with an exposed hammer, which makes it a great teaching gun since it's easy to see and explain exactly what the firearm is doing at every step.
Up top you get a post front sight and an adjustable V-notch rear, and the receiver is drilled and tapped if you'd rather run a scope base or a small red dot. The 20-inch carbon steel barrels wear a matte black finish that shrugs off field wear. No frills, no fuss, just a versatile little combo gun that earns its spot in the truck or behind the cabin door.
There's a selector switch built into the hammer that picks which firing pin gets struck. You can load a .22 LR round in the top barrel and a .410 shell in the bottom at the same time, then flip the selector to fire whichever one the situation calls for. It's quick and simple once you've run it a few times.
Yes. The receiver is drilled and tapped, so you can remove the adjustable rear sight and mount a scope base. A lot of owners run a compact red dot on these, which works well given the short-range jobs this gun is built for.
It's one of the better options out there for that job. The 12.5-inch length of pull fits smaller frames properly, the gun weighs under 5 pounds, and the break-action design with an exposed hammer makes it easy to teach safe handling. The .22 LR and .410 pairing also keeps recoil mild while covering plinking and small game.
Press one button and the gun splits into two halves that fit inside the included Uncle Mike's Go Bag, a compact MOLLE-style case around two feet long. That makes it easy to stash in a truck, backpack, or gear box. Reassembly takes just a few seconds with no tools.
