I just got great grandpa's 22/410 pretty sweet little set up. It's nice to finally get a family heirlom locked into the family.

JJB11B No they do not.  You cannot even re ream one I was thinking the exact same thing, the EVERYTHING gun... Kinda surprised they never offered it in that caliber... I think thier idea was the 30-30 was the everything gun. Not nearly as good a ballistics tho...

I have seen a few of the 3 barreled combination guns, that would be perfect. Something like a 22 mag, 243, 12 gauge would be amazing

they have a bunch of them over here. they are called Drillings. Usually they have 2 shotgun barrels and one rifle barrel. so it would be something like 8mm mauser under 2 16 guage barrels then you have the option of puttinga  sleeve insert into one of the shotgun barrels to make it into something small like a 222 or 22 hornet. Very neat pieces.

I intend to have one before I leave germany.  It takes a lot of crafstmanship to make 3 barrels hit the same spot.

This is good stuff.   I have been looking in to the 30-30/20 ga recently as I could use that for big game/grouse.

There are quite a few O/U shotgun/rifle combination guns being imported to the US right now.  CZ is importing the BRNO and the Finjn Classic 512 SC by Marrochi is being imported.  There are a number of used Tikkas and Sav 2400 around.

Rifle barrels on the new one run from 222Rem to 9.3x74. should caver just about anything you want to use it for.

Here's a listing for a number of used Combination and drillings.

I have the 24v-a, in .222/20GA.  I absolutley love that gun.  Got a sweet deal on it at a gun show a couple of years ago.  If I am going on a walk in the woods during grouse season, that is what I carry.  I tried the shotgun out at the trap range once and it worked pretty well for that too.

I have one. It has a three inch Magnum .20 gauge on the bottom. Barrel selector is
on the hammer. I traded a Beretta 380 for it about 28 years ago. It  has Turkey engravings on it. Most accurate rifle I have ever shot. I almost lost it to WDFW. Although it is designed for Turkey hunting with the 3 in Mag, it is illegal to hunt with it because of the rifle barrel, even though you do not have rifle ammo in your possession. Gamie gave me a break and didn't take it from me. Ran me out of the woods instead. Anyone know what the V-a signifies?
Mine is in mint condition. Great grouse and coyote weapon. Muskrat

Addicted why do they do the reverse of the savages? rifle on bottom instead of on top? any ideas? I would imagine a double barrel shotgun and a rifle barrel would get pretty heavy.

You know, I have wondered about that.  I assummed same as you, if you dont have rifle ammo with you, why couldn't you hunt with it.  I would use it for turkey too, call up a turkey and use the shotgun, call up a coyote use the 222.  But I see their point.  I would still like to use it.

Not Addicted but one of the reasons that the rifle barrel is on the bottom is that the rifle works at much higher pressure and being closer to the hinge pin/ water table gives the locking mechanism more mechanical advantage on the lower barrel.  You will find some Drillings with two rifle barrels on the top and one shotgun under.  There are also Vierlings usually two shotgun barrels, one high power rifle, and one 22Hornet or 22 LR between the three.  There are many different confiqurations of Drillings and Vierlings.  Many were one-offs handbuilt to someones specs or as an apprentice graduation project.  Some of the intresting things are rifle sights that pop up when the rifle barrel is selected and set triggers for the rifle barrel.

Some drillings can be quite light,  I used to do pred control work in WI(1969-71), my partner carried a 16ga x 16ga x 9.3x72R Hammer drilling that was just under 7 lbs.  It was a delight to carry.  With both shotgun barrels loaded with buckshot and the rifle barrel it was a pretty formidable weapon when we would get into a pack of feral dogs.

9.3x72 is kinda like a 375 if you guys didnt know. it kill more than a feral dog lol. 

Blaser makes a drilling(3 barrel) that has the rifle on top. AWS is prolly right on the pressure/placement choice for most of them though.
