Some guns try to do one thing perfectly. The Savage 42 Takedown does two things well and fits in a backpack while doing it. This over-under combo gun runs a .22 LR barrel on top and a .410 bore barrel underneath, both fired from a simple break-open, single-shot action. Squirrels at 40 yards, a rabbit that jumps at 15 feet, pest control around the property, one gun handles all of it without swapping anything.
The whole thing separates with a single button push, no tools required, and stows in the included takedown carry case. At 6.1 pounds with a 35.75 inch overall length assembled, it packs down small enough to live behind a truck seat, in a camper, or strapped to a pack. The OD Green synthetic stock shrugs off rain and rough handling, and the matte black carbon steel barrels keep glare down in the field. Two sling studs come standard if you would rather carry it over the shoulder.
Adjustable rifle sights come mounted from the factory, and the rear sight is removable if you want to run an optic instead. The 1:16 twist rate on the .22 barrel handles standard rimfire loads just fine, and the .410 gives you real pattern-based versatility for moving targets and close work. A two-position safety keeps operation straightforward.
With a 13.5 inch length of pull and next to no recoil from either chambering, the Model 42 makes a great first gun for a young hunter learning the ropes. The single-shot action forces good habits, one round, one deliberate shot. At the same time, plenty of experienced folks buy this one purely as a utility gun because there is not much on it to break and not much to fuss with. Load it, break it open, pack it away. That kind of simplicity never goes out of style.
It could not be much simpler. Press a single button and the gun separates into two halves, no tools needed. Both pieces fit into the included carry case, which makes it easy to stash in a pack, a truck, or a camper until you need it.
Yes. The rear sight is removable to open up room for optic mounting, so you can run a small red dot or compact scope if the factory adjustable sights are not your thing. Plenty of owners keep the irons on and never look back, but the option is there.
It is one of the better options out there for that job. The 13.5 inch length of pull fits smaller frames, recoil from both the .22 LR and .410 is mild, and the single-shot break action teaches deliberate, careful shooting. It is also a gun they will not outgrow, since it stays useful as a camp and small game gun for years.
No. You load one .22 LR round in the top barrel and one .410 shell in the bottom, then select which barrel fires. That lets you match the load to the moment, rimfire for a stationary target at distance, shotshell for something moving up close.
