What’s Included
- Savage Arms Model 42 .22 LR/.410 over/under
This Model 42 offers dual-caliber utility with a .22 LR rifled barrel (1:16 RH twist) and a .410 bore shotgun barrel with a 3-inch chamber. The break-action design keeps operation simple, and the two-barrel layout provides a two-round capacity.
An external hammer with a hammer-mounted barrel selector lets the shooter choose the firing barrel. A cross-bolt safety adds a straightforward, familiar control. The action uses a manual extractor (non-ejector) for positive case removal.
Built with steel barrels and a non-ferrous cast monoblock receiver, the gun wears a matte blued finish. Sighting is handled by a fixed front post and an adjustable open rear sight for practical alignment with both barrels.
The black polymer stock includes textured surfaces and finger grooves for grip, a ventilated recoil pad, and sling swivel studs. Overall length is approximately 35.75 inches with a 13.5-inch length of pull, balancing handiness with solid shouldering. Made in the USA.
