The CZ is centerfire / 12 ga. The Remington is also centerfire / 12 ga and is no longer offered by Remington.

There were some 12 ga Savage 24s, but they are very heavy in 12 ga and I don't think they were ever offered in 22LR.

The best bet would be a Savage 24 in 22/20ga.

 

Or you could get a chamber insert and use any 12ga SxS or O/U

 

I had a lot of fun searching for Savage 24's before I found one that I liked. The old Savages come in all combinations.

. . . the Savage is the only American combination on the market. I'd try and find one the of older Savage 24s in rimfire over 20 gauge. They are still available but the prices will drop your jaw in many cases. Pretty nice guns though, about as practical a small game hunting rifle you can find. Having a rifle and shotgun simultaneously available is cool! :bthumb:

I also have a Savage 24F Predator in .30-30 Winchester over 12 gauge. Heavy beast, about 9lbs unscoped. I imagine the .22 bore over 12 model (I think it was cataloged in that configuration) would be heavier. Iirc, the .22 bore model was the 24T (Turkey) but I may be mistaken.

I have never seen a .22LR/12 gauge Savage model 24. It would be worth a small fortune if such a beast truly exists.

Possibly Valmet produced a version of their combo gun in .22LR over 12 gauge but I've only ever seen centerfire offerings.

The Krieghoff Optima drilling can be had with 12 gauge barrels & a .22 WMR barrel insert but it's crazy expensive.

There really is only one choice for an affordable small game combo gun & that's the Savage model 24. The most versatile chambering is .22LR over 3" 20 gauge. The most desirable versions are the Camper models with the shorter barrels and the DL deluxe models. The Camper models have the nifty ammo storage in the stock feature but the shotgun barrel is generally choked open cylinder which isn't the best choice for small game hunting. The DL is the one to have for serious field work.

This is a '69 with the blacked out receiver:

 

Howdy, JR, I'm curious as to the make of your folding hunter pocket knife.
It looks like an heirloom and I'd like to know more about it if you're willing to share.
And the Model 24 is the way to go!

Thanks! :bthumb:

I apologize Kiteman72, I never came back to this thread. The knife is a Kabar folding hunter 1197, its led a pretty full outdoor related life. Its still making memories.

I've never seen a .22lr over 12 bore either, but I thought I remember seeing it as an option for the Predator. Maybe it was a typo? But the 22 Hornet and .223 for sure were manufactured. Camoflauged Turkey Models they were.

 

Silas Knows Of What He Speaks

The Savage 24T was in .223 Remington over 12 gauge.

Savage never made a combination gun in .22LR or .22 Magnum over 12 Gauge.

The is no factory, American-made combination gun in .22 LR and 12 gauge and there never was.

All the other non-Savage factory brands of 2 barrel combination guns available in this country (the Baikal/Remington, the CZ, Valmet) with 12 gauge shotgun chamberings are paired with centerfire cartridges.

There are plenty of Savage M24s in .22 LR over 20 gauge and .22 Magnum over 20 gauge out there, but no .22 LR over 12 gauge.

The German Buchsflinten/Bocks-Buchsflinten , Drillings and Vierlings are hugely expensive, but are semi-custom or custom guns that can be had in almost any caliber combination, if price is no object.

My go-to hunting gun is Savage Model 24 DL in .22 LR over 20 gauge with a Williams receiver sight. I have a complete set of apertures with the brass annular ring set in the aperture that I change out depending on light conditions. It is light, fast and accurate.

Silas speak truth, wise in many ways.

 

A .22/12ga sounded like a good idea until I heard of the weight - the Savage 24 12ga's were a couple of pounds heavier than the 20's. Making a 'handy' utility gun too heavy sort of defeats the purpose.

BTW I have a Savage 24 in .22/20 and wouldn't trade it for any other configuration.

See post #5, my 30-30/12 24F weighs approx. 9 lbs. I wonder what the .22 bore models weighed - bring your spinach !

 

Kestrel4K, not slamming your rifle in the slightest . . .

I was commenting of 24F Turkey in .22 centerfire 12 gauge, the last crossbolt supplied model. I don't think the barrels had a thinner contour, so those .22 bore over 12 must be pretty heavy.

The original 24s were pretty well balanced.

 

I'm having trouble figuring out why one might want a .22/12 when the .22/20 is available. Haven't met a creature that a 12 will kill and a 20 won't.

 

If you are interested in the Savage 24 series of combination guns, or even their Stevens 22/410 predecessors, you might be interested in the article that Marshall Stanton wrote in the "tech notes" section of his www.beartoothbullets.com website.

I have several of them in 22/410, 22M/410, 22/20, 22M/20, 222/20, 223/20, 30-30/20, and 357/20. There probably isn't a more versatile "woods loafing" firearm for use in the lower 48 than a Savage 24. I like the lightweight 22M/410 when I'm walking around in the woods south of our home in Breckenridge, CO.

 

Bumping up this thread for peep sight users . . .

. . . I just saw this peep sight designed for 22 receiver tip-off rails and wonder if anyone has one. This one might fit the Savage 24 rails. Looks very similar to that Redfield RE-24 pictured above by Kestral4k (thank you).
