I am glad to see a few people mentioning the Savage Arms 24 series rifle/shotgun combo. I am entertaining a purchase and about to begin crawling around for a used model, as well. Thanks!

[Sourdough]

A D, Someone is up early. I like the old wood stocked Savage Model 24, I have owned maybe 25 or 30 over the years. The sights suck on the old model 24. That is the one nice improvement on the new ones is they are tapped for scope bases. Be carefully of eye relief when lighting off the 12 gage.

I wish I kept mine and will get another one someday I am sure.

Found one of these today with the short barrel.

Now, this is more my style.

The barrel was cut off right after the shot shell tube. Talk about handy, I think I could put out 450 for it.

Or maybe get one used for alot less. I hope.

Put a sling on it, load up the 7 shells and you're off.

Not quite as fancy, yeh, this is the workhorse.

[beerrunner13]

That is sweet who makes it? 7 shots is outstanding will it take the 3 in shells. Already showed the pic to the wife, and my birthday is next month. I can dream huh

[FVR]

I believe that it is a Norinco. The ones on the net have a 5 plus 1 shot shell capacity. They can be had from 350 to 500 bucks.

I saw one at Shulers sporting goods today in Commerce Ga. Handles real nice.

Here is the cheapest I've found on the net.

Hey Stringer,are you from North Georgia by chance??? We had a fellow here not too long ago with your same attitude

I have a youth model H&R single shot 20 guage That I often grab this time of year when I'm out walking in the woods. I carry some 2 3/4 low brass #8's and a couple of Brenneke "Black Magic" slugs. After a couple of freezes I'll also carry some high brass #6's in case I see a snowshoe.

[erunkiswldrnssurvival]

I have a .22 mag. that i use alot. it provides for me . Small game is well suited for the
.22

[SARKY]

Well it looks like I need to put my 2 cents in here.
Walk'about guns: my choices are as follows
.22 rimfire: AR-7 (Henry arms is now making it) it all comes apart and store in the stock
Ruger 10-22, Mine is totally tricked out with Volquartsen trigger group, and barrel. I also built a P-90 style stock to put it in (it is just over the legal length limit)
Ruger MK-III pistol, accurate, very pointable and dependable as hell
Centerfire: Taurus Titanium Tracker, weighs next to nothing even with 7 rounds of .357 in the cylinder, 4 inch barrel helps keep it accurate. I also have one in .41 Mag.
Kel-Tec SU-16CA, this sweet piece of machinery folds in half to fit in my pack and uses standard AR-15 mags. unfortunately it only comes in .223. I've been hoping they would they would chamber it in 7.62x39 or better yet 6.5 Grendel.
Thompson Center TCR, this single shot rifle is slim, light weight and yu can change calibers by simply changing the barrel out.
Marlin lever action, choose your poison as far as caliber.
Saving the best for last,
Mossberg 500 12GA shotgun, two options I reccomend 1: folding pistol grip stock. 2: a second barrel (rifled with sights or scope mount)
I picked the Mossey for a lot of reasons 1: very reliable 2: has accessories available to enhance its usability 3: the only shotgun I've found that will reliably feed the short 1.5 inch Aguila shot shells.
Well there is my 2 cents for what it's worth

[sh4d0wm4573ri7]

To each his own I own a model 60 and several other long guns including a Remington 700synthetic 30.06 another .22 an RWS and a Remington 870 and for over 20 yrs the 870 has served my needs has never jammed or failed and will stop anything I'd care to shoot

[klkak]

I would have to agree with anyone who claims the Remington 870. It's about as close to a "do everything gun" as a person can get. If I had to get rid of all my guns except one, I would keep the 870. It's a 3 inch with two bbl's, a shotgun bbl w/3 chokes and a rifled slug bbl.

The Remington 870 is a good "walk-about" gun.

[klkak]

You're not agreeing with me, are you

I am if you think the 870 makes a good "Walk-about" gun.

[erunkiswldrnssurvival]

I have a 7.62 German mauser,but I hunt more often with my .22 mag. The .22 has plenty of punch.
