Well look what's coming back: Savage Model 42

[358 BLR]

I just found this today and since I haven't seen any other posts about it, I thought I'd share this with you good folks. As of now it is only available in
.22LR/410 and .22Mag/410, but I've heard (and you can take that as a rumour) that the 20 Gauge varient will come later. The MSRP from Savage's site is
$460, which isn't too bad. My only question is does it fully break-down?

That's a sweet looking rig!

I want a 3030/20g version. Perfect ON dogging/pushing gun.

Looks like something off of a spaceship. What happened to walnut and steel? I know rising labour and material rates. I am stuck in the '50's.

Where are the M4ish butt and the forend rails?

LOL.... Ya, I kinda like the old ones too, but if it breaks-down I think they would be a great truck gun, although I'd prefer a .22 mag/20 Gauge myself. I am glad to see them being made again though.

Wow, I guess it's handy, but I'd have to be wearing blinders to use it. Yuck.

wow! awesome! kudos to savage!

To the OP: Thanks for posting this!

I hope that this new shotgun/rifle is a big hit for Savage and that they are encouraged to bring out a number of similar variants:

someone already asked for a 30-30 / 20ga. model and I would like to see a .308 /12Ga. (actually I would prefer a .270 / 12ga. but I doubt that would happen)

That is one fugly gun!

I'm not old school by any means; but that stock and foregrip combination just puts a big WTF? in my mind.

What would be really nice and I hope Savage is listening, would be the ability to buy additional barrel sets in different chamberings: like a .270/12, a
30-30/20, a .357/410 etc. I think a lot more people might consider buying one then.

My guess is if this sells well they introduce a blued/walnut version along with greater calibre choices.

i hope you are right, 308 over 12g would be awesome.

It belongs with the latest Mossberg!

My eyes... what is with manufacturers defacing good long standing products as fast as they can as of late? Really, who are the guys that designed this thing and where are their Hyundai cars parked because I'd like to throw some eggs and leave a note.

"Everybody seems to like the old ones, so let's see if they'll buy it if we do this and this and this." Ya, sometimes I think they design things just to see if we're
paying attention. I mean there are improvements they could have made with the original design, but these changes seem a bit much.
