Combination Single Shot Rifles/Shotguns

Bertfish · Apr 28, 2020

I've never really been in to them but I'm finding them more and more intriguing.

Saw a Savage 24 on Facebook earlier. It was a combination 20 gauge/.22 Magnum.

Who out there has what in their safe?

A drilling would also qualify I suppose. Seem out of reach financially.

Springfield Armory also made one, but it is discontinued

Yeah I'm reading now that the Model 24 was a series of many different caliber combinations.

I do not own one (yet) but I have a strange curiosity toward the skeletonized Firearms International Bronco 22 lr /.410. It is such an odd firearm.

Looks like an early 20th century bicycle rifle. I like the ones which were made of bent tubing.

The Bronco is relatively modern as they were sold in the '70's and '80's.

I have a 12ga over 270 rem built in 1959. It came from Ferlach Austria

Drilling or one barrel of each caliber? Show us some pictures man!

Haven't seen a Bronco in years...always thought they looked to be handy.

Many years ago a close friends father passed at 42 and was a passionate hunter. My buddy who I had grown up with since I was 2 years old and had no interest in guns was selling off his dads collection. His father actually passed of a heart attack while upland game hunting in Montoursville PA. In it was a Savage 24-J-DL in 22 mag over 20 gauge. It was perfect with the satin chrome receiver and gold trigger. Had a fox engraved on one side and pheasant on the other. My buddy had already promised it to another guy for $100. Man I wanted that gun as his dad was like a 2nd father to me.

I'd love to have either a Drilling or a double rifle in common American calibers and gauges...most are European in odd (to Americans) calibers...and expensive. Even when common caliber examples are found they're way too expensive to even consider. A couple of times I've come across a Colt/Sauer Drilling but again...the price of admission is too high. A Weatherby Drilling is probably even more expensive.

The only affordable ones I've ever seen were "well loved"

I had a 222 over 12 gauge that was for turkey hunting. I traded it off for something that I cannot even remember for what is now. It was relatively modern with adjustable sights, Eastern European made with a couple of chokes, gloss, cut checkered etc.
It came with some guns I bought one time so I checked it out and got rid of it after a awhile.

My uncle had a Stevens 22/410 that was supposed to come to me... I loved that rifle. His daughters a$$hole husband sold it out from under me ( it was willed). To this day I am still pissed about it.

That version was an excellent rabbit gun.

BTW, for you guys who want a Drilling, they can be pretty heavy.

I have an old Stevens 22/410 that I picked up years ago. The rifle barrel has a bulge about halfway, not sure how they did that!

Never had a combination shotty/rifle but I love single shot, break action 12 guage shotguns. Add a couple of rifled adapters and you can shoot just about anything.

The Baikal shotguns are what you would expect from Ivan...damn near indestructable. Add a black powder adapter and I don't think you could ever run out of something to shoot.

I have a single shot H&R 20 gauge that came with a 30-30 barrel. I wonder if you can still get spare rifle barrels for those shotguns?
