Any made with screw-in chokes?
Yeah, the newer Savage M24's and the Baikal M94's both have screw ins. I have three combo guns, and I love each one. Savage M24 .223/12GA, Baikal M94 .223/12GA, and a Valmet 412 .30-06/12GA. The Valmet was made in 1981 and has an IM choke. I could probably have a screw in made for it from Briley or one of the other tube/choke makers, but I don't want to goober up a nice set. It came with three barrels, 12GA/12GA, 12GA/.30-06, and .30-06/.30-06. I wish I could find a .375 H&H O/U barrel set, but so far no joy.
I have a Bushnell TR-25 on the Savage, a B&L 1.5x5 scope on the Baikal, a Mini Aimpoint on the Valmet .30-06/12GA, and a Leupold 2.5x8 on the Valmet .30-06/.30-06.
The Savage has a 1/14" twist and will not stabilize anything over 55 grains (including the 53 gr TSX) in the .223, but shoots 55 gr WW ball into 1.5" at 100 yards. I'm working up loads with the 45 gr TSX for deer/hogs, and using reduced loads with 45 gr Hornet bullets and SR 4759 for smaller critters. The Baikal has a faster twist, 1/12", and will shoot M855 and other 60-62 gr bullets fine. I'm using 60 gr Nosler PT's and 53 gr TSX's for larger game, and the same reduced load with 45 gr Hornet bullets for small game. I have also looked into acquiring a chamber adapter or two for .22 LR but the fellow who makes them is hard to communicate with, and hasn't responded to e mails. I'm also working on some 55 gr GC cast bullet loads for small game.
The Valmet shoots just about anything I've tried in either '06 barrel, including a reduced load using a 110 gr RNSP and SR 4759. It actually hits the same POI out to 75 yards as my .30-06 big game hunting load using a 165 gr Nosler BT, and only 2" low at 100. This is out of either the .30-06 O/U or the combo gun.
I'm always on the lookout for combination guns, and really think that they are great general hunting arms.
