Savage Adds Two New Color Options to the Model 42 Takedown

I’ve lengthy been a fan of the Savage Mannequin 24 over and beneath rifles. They’d been made for the reason that late 30s, and have been obtainable in a myriad of rifle and shotgun caliber and gauge combos. Most of these outdated Mannequin 24s have been blued metal with wooden shares. The thought of a compact rifle/shotgun combo as a camp or survival rifle is interesting, and Savage hasn’t forgotten that. Their present over and beneath combo rifle is the Mannequin 42. It’s a takedown rifle with artificial shares, and so they simply dropped a few new colour choices for it.

The Earth Tone Mannequin 42s

The Savage Mannequin 42 breaks down with the easy push of a button. It packs up into an included Uncle Mike’s Go Bag, and you’ll stuff it simply in your truck, your boat, strapped to your ATV or simply stashed out of the way in which in your camp.

The Mannequin 42 is an easy break-open combo gun that fires rimfire rounds from the highest barrel and .410 bore shotgun shells from the underside. Quite a lot of the outdated Mannequin 24s provided centerfire rounds and different gauges, however the present Mannequin 42 retains issues easy by providing .22 LR or .22 Magnum rifle choices over a .410 shotgun barrel. This permits them to maintain the weapons mild, compact and inexpensive.

The quick size of pull and light-weight recoil make the Mannequin 42 a terrific choice for brand new or youth shooters, too. The artificial shares are weatherproof, and the barrels have a matte black end that’s straightforward to take care of. Black with some crimson trim was your solely choice, however Savage simply added Flat Darkish Earth (FDE) and Olive Drab (OD) Inexperienced shares as an choice as effectively. Being that these are weapons made for the outside, these muted, earth tone colours make sense.
