Some new double badgers are coming out

[HammerHeade]

Just hope they end up bringing back the wood stock.

Plastic stocks, plastic sights. No good.

The savage 42 is also a disgrace. What happened to the wood model 24's of the old days?

 

[JimDO]

Looks good

 

[super7]

Must be some stout recoil shooting 12g slugs out of one of those

 

[Jeepguy]

very interesting

 

[dragonbait]

Interested in this.

I like the drop-in inserts option!!

 

[HeadDamage]

The x-caliber really caught my attention, that looks like a survival tool. 12ga over 22lr with 8 different caliber inserts for the 12ga barrel.

 

[vancity]

$700 is a little steep. I wonder if they will have an option without all of the 8 inserts. I would probably like 2, the other 6 are unnecessary in my opinion.

Good that those inserts are nice and long.... solves the problems of the more common short ones. Wonder if they're rifled? That would make for a pretty versatile piece of kit....

 

[super7]

I would guess yes based on the length (and cost)

It's nice that a company is actually doing this though. When i heard of the savage 42 i got excited that it may be offered in the range of options the older 24's were, but i've so far been dissapointed that it's only been 22/410 and 22mag/410.
I agree, a wood option would be nice, but even the black plastic they had looks better than the savage 42.

Looks cool to me. Still much cheaper than a used M6 scout. May not be for everyone but there is clearly a market for "survival" guns.

.22 barrel should be on top in my opinion.

He says in the video that it has ALL STEEL SIGHTS. So that is a GOOD THING!!

 

[HammerHeade]

.22 barrel should be on top in my opinion.

definitely agree here

 

[dand883]

.22 barrel should be on top in my opinion.

Does top vs bottom make all that much of a difference? or is it just for esthetics?

 

[V1]

None, IMO.

Maybe it's just me, but I never got any acceptable accuracy of of inserts... Anyone?

Wood stocks might be nice but these arent being sold with the "good old days" wood guys in mind. Synthetic stocks are much more versatile on a survival rifle. Impervious to weather and also lighter.
Don't forget they still make the wood double badger in the non survival type
