Savage model 42 .22LR/.410 takedown?

[NAC1989]

Been wanting one of these for years and never picked one up. Anybody have one and if so what’s your review on it?
Anybody know of any shops that have them in stock, I’ve looked everywhere locally and nothing, I’ve found them online but would prefer to hold it in my hands before I pay for it.

They’re less cooler than they look. .22 isn’t as accurate as you’d hope.

I had a Savage M24 O/U .22/.410, for years. I got rid of it just three years ago. It took everything from small game up to white-tailed deer. The barrels weren't indexed very well. I installed a very inexpensive 2.5x scope with look-thru bases. I sited in the .22 with Rem Golden HP at 55yards. The .410 bore patterned both shot and 1/4oz slugs high about 4"at the same distance. Great weapon to grow up with; squirrels, rabbits, furbearers, a few birds on the wing, and one deer: I double-lunged my best Ohio buck with a .410 slug at about 15 yards.
