50-grain V-Max cartridges had muzzle velocity of 3104 fps and muzzle energy of 1070 foot-pounds and had an average five-shot group size of 1.6 inches at 50 yards. To pattern the Savage Model 24V, we used Remington 23⁄4-inch 20-gauge shotshells filled with 7⁄8 ounce of No. We ran a number of rounds through these rifle/shotguns, shooting rifle cartridges, shotshells, and slugs at 50 yards for the rifles and slugs using open sights and patterning the shotshells at 25 yards.įor shotshells in the Savage 24V, we used Remington 20-gauge Sluggers (23⁄4-inch shell, 1⁄2-ounce slug), which produced muzzle velocity of 1795 fps and muzzle energy of 1565 foot-pounds and 3.4-inch groups at 50 yards. We reviewed and recommended the European American Armory-imported Baikal IZH94 12 gauge/7.62x39mm in the July 2002 issue, when it sold for a paltry $425. We hope to put Savages smaller combo gun up against Baikals #489392, the MP94 set up as a 410-bore/22 LR ($562) or the #489394, a 410/22WMR ($511). Savage has only one combination gun still listed on its website, the Model 42, a 22 LR or 22 Magnum over 410-bore gun that lists for $485 (#19666). The reason for that pairing: Savage doesnt continue to make a larger-bore shotgun model to compare to the 12-gauge Baikals. We were able to lay our hands on a Model 24V specimen built in 1968 to test as a used gun versus Baikal MP94, which was first imported from Russia in about 2001. was the Savage Model 24, an iconic firearm that was first produced in 1949. Probably the most common combination gun manufactured in the U.S. In that respect they are flexible, but since a rifle is aimed and shotguns are pointed, their features compromise elements of both firearms types. They are guns for opportunistic hunters, since the barrel set up allows the hunters to bag a squirrel, or if by chance a grouse, or whatever game the hunter happens to comes upon. Combo guns are designed for hunting, and depending on the caliber and gauge, a variety of game can be stalked, from rodents in a barn to whitetails in the big woods, or perhaps pigeons, pheasant, or ducks. One barrel is a rifle barrel, the other is a shotgun barrel.
The 24V and MP94 are break-action firearms with two barrels in an over-and-under configuration.
222 Rem./20 gauge, $400-$425 and the Baikal Model MP94 #489330 223 Rem./12 gauge, $790, have a legitimate place in the birding/game sportsmans gun closet. Though far less popular in the United States than in Europe, combo guns such as the Savage Model 24V. The solution in both cases would have been a combination rifle and shotgun. Or weve been grouse hunting with a shotgun and saw a nice rabbit pop out 45 yards away, making us want a rifle.
