Savage Arms is now offering the Model 42 Takedown rifle in Flat Dark Earth (FDE) and OD (Olive Drab) green. A reliable and versatile hunting and general-use firearm, the Model 42 is rimfire-shotgun combination that is ideal for use as a survival, truck or camping firearm that is a proven performer on the market.
“The updated Model 42 Takedown is a game-changer, now available in two classic colorways,” said Savage Arms’ Rimfire product manager, Brett McKenna. “With its combination rifle/shotgun design, simple break action and adjustable rifle sights, it offers unparalleled convenience and performance for a wide range of applications.”
The 42 Takedown rimfire-shotgun combo breaks down with the push of a button and includes a carry case so you can easily transport it anywhere. The break-action combo fires rimfire rounds from the top barrel and .410-bore shotgun shells from the bottom barrel. The Model 42’s length-of-pull is short enough and its recoil is light enough to make a perfect starter gun for young shooters. The barrels are matte black to prevent glare and the sleek synthetic stock is weatherproof. The Model 42 is available in .22LR over .410-bore and .22 WMR over .410-bore.
