Savage Arms® 42 Takedown Now Available in FDE and OD Green 

WESTFIELD, Massachusetts – August 14, 2024 – Savage Arms®, an iconic firearm manufacturer, now offers the must-have survival, truck, camping and more rimfire-shotgun combo in Flat Dark Earth and OD Green. A reliable and versatile hunting and general-use firearm, the updated Model 42 Takedown has proved to be a top choice for those in the market. 

“The updated Model 42 Takedown is a game-changer, now available in two classic colorways,” said Savage Arms’s Rimfire Product Manager Brett McKenna. “With its combination rifle/shotgun design, simple break action and adjustable rifle sights, it offers unparalleled convenience and performance for a wide range of applications.” 

The 42 Takedown rimfire-shotgun combo breaks down with the simple push of one button and includes a bug-out bag so you can easily transport it anywhere. The break-action combo fires rimfire rounds from the top barrel and .410 bore shotgun shells from the bottom. The Model 42's length-of-pull is short enough and its recoil is light enough to make a perfect starter gun for young shooters. The barrels are matte black to prevent glare and the sleek synthetic stock is weatherproof. The Model 42 is available in .22 LR over .410 and 22 WMR over .410.
