Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Combination Guns and Drillings Show Us Your Combo Gun

I'll even wear my new glasses to look at some combo gun-porn.

That includes Savage 24's. I love those American Classics!

Moved to drilling thread

Africa with a drilling! Now there is a plan! Did you go mixed bag with fowl or just plains game?

I'll play.

Savage Model 24V Series D .357 mag over 20 gauge.

Pretty wood:



Good shooter, too:

NICE wood.

Got in some bird hunting as well. Sand grouse in the Kalahari on the RSA side of the RSA/Botswana border. The zebra(and an eland), were taken in the Limpopo province.

Here's my German girls. None are heavily engraved, all working girls, the kind that can cook and talk to you, not just pretty faces. I managed to hunt all of them last year. My old 24 in 22 WRM/20 lives behind the kitchen door and coudn't get out from under the coats and boots to get in the picture.

I like that guild gun in 16 & 8x57 JRS..... those are a lot of fine girls indeed.

Nice collection Blackfly, made even better, as they get used for what they were made for!

This is probably my favorite Savage 24V. Bought it from an old guy I liked very much on another board I frequented, sight unseen. He said it was in excellent shape and original, but obviously, his eyes were even worse than mine are LOL. Case coloring was there, but faded, stock was refinished in polyurethane and had a repaired crack at the receiver. Firing pin for the 223 barrel seemed long to me and when I grasped it with my fingers, it literally fell right out of the receiver.

Located a firing pin on fleabay back in the days before they became to anti 2nd amendment for me to use them anymore. Acquired an original stock that appeared to be for a Savage 94 because there was no pistol grip cap on it from fleabay also. It was a satin finish and pretty wood. Had a 10 inch beavertail forend I had purchased from Numrich that was SO bad I had to strip it, and it turned out to be a very nice piece of blonde walnut under the fugly finish that was on it that I thought would match all the blonde wood in the stock.

Stock was way oversize at the receiver so I had to strip it, fit it and then refinished the stock and forend in high gloss. Added a Denver manufactured Redfield Traditional 3X9 in Kwik Site see thru mounts so I could utilize the irons for slugs and the scope for the .223 barrel. I hate see thru mounts but find them necessary on a 24 cause the barrels can't be regulated.

It came out pretty good. I still need to put a sling stud in the stock, and I'd like to find a Denver low profile widefield in 2X7 for it, instead of this scope, but they seem to be few and far between.

Couple of more:
24V - 223 over 20 with standard wood furniture in walnut, Denver Redfield 2X7 Low Profile Widefield, all original and pristine.


24V - 357 Maximum over 20, standard walnut furniture.


One of the last 24Vs made before they want into Chapter 11 and re-organized in 1989. Standard hardwood furniture. This became the forrunner for the 24F tupperware model after reorganization. Notice the scroll design on the receiver and cross bolt safety now found on the 24F. 30-30 over 12 gauge with screw in chokes. Gun is new unfired and I have the original box.

Baikal IZH-94 combo gun, 12 gauge over 30-06.

I thought this was a new forum! Thanks to those who made it happen!! drillings and combination guns are rapidly becoming my favorites. I don't have many pictures but here's a start:

Meffert Dural, 16 X 16 over 7 X 57R, 1935





Jost & Diehl Combination gun in 16 bore and 10.5 X 47R. This one has really wormed its way into my heart. One of the interesting things about this one is the straight rifling in the shotgun bore.





Not a combination gun or a drilling but definitely German. Double rifle in 43 Mauser.



There's also a Thieme & Schlegelmich in 16 X 16 over 9.3 X 75R Nimrod that I'm going to be working with as soon as the repairs are completed and a Bartels stalking rifle in 8.15 X 46R I recently worked up a load for. I do prefer the older hammer guns and obscure rifle chamberings. Bringing them back to life is a huge rush.

It is a 12 gauge under a 40 cal. muzzle loader ,original. A looker not a shooter.

That Jost & Diehl is beautiful.

Whelen,
You should get that charcoal-burner up and running. It would be a lot of fun at the range.

Ordinarily I'm not a fan of early stackbarrels but I like that one, whelen. I agree with luv2, that one oughts see some woods time!!!

CZ BBF 16ga over 7X57R w/Trigicon Accupoint 56mm.

Boar was taken at 75 meters around 9pm with a 150 grain RWS bullet. He didn't move an inch... Well, may be a few inches "Down"

This is my Savage 24B-DL. It has a 22lr barrel over a 20ga shotgun. It is just about right for squirrels and the 2x Leupold helps these old eyes.

That's a nice one!

Here is my Blaser BBF97
