If you could only have one....what would it be?
My choice would be the Savage 24V for hunting. .30-30/20 ga. Deer, quail, grouse in Western Oregon all open at same time and sharing same habitat. Versatile. Simple.
Savage 24V, .30-30/20 ga. with Ultradot. S&W M36

I believe that would be a Savage 24, similar to mine above. Ot comes in many calibers......but I'm not sure it is made any longer.mkIII1022 wrote:i forget who makes it but it is a .22 on top and the bottom barrel was .410 and 45 long colt

only one
If I could have only one gun, it'd be a 12 gauge shotgun - for the reasons stated earlier.
About the combo .22/.410-.45 Colt......I don't know of any gun that is set up that way.
The Savage model 24 as pictured is the classic .22/.410. Springfield Armory sold a nice little survival O/U that was a .22/.410...called the M6.
As to a .410/.45Colt barrel....Cobray used to make a series of small arms that would shoot .45Colt and .410 shotshells. One or two of these were "long arms" but I do not know of a .22 combo. Bond Arms, American Derringer, and Taurus make .45 Colt/.410 pistols - no combos.
Remember that a barrel chambered for .410s (.410" diameter) will NOT safely fire .45 Colt ammo (.452" diameter). Any combos that you see that fire both are chambered for the larger diameter.

Re: only one
You are correct. It may be the M6 he is referring to. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/M6_survival_riflePete D. wrote:If I could have only one gun, it'd be a 12 gauge shotgun - for the reasons stated earlier.

M6
I was not aware that SA offered the M6 with a .45/,410 barrel. I have one in .22/410 and a friend has one in .22 Hornet/.410.
I wonder if that Wikipedia info is correct. Could be, I guess, though I was following SA for years in their on again/off again production of the M6; I never saw a listing for the .45/.410 barrel. Wouldn't be too practical - the accuracy of a .45 slug would be pretty poor out of a smoothbore unless I miss my guess (but I'd sure like to give one a try).
M6 was made by CZ for SA.
