I have an older Model 24 s/e 22/410 I've had for a long time.

The first two years I lived in Alaska I lived in a little cabin north of Healy. I worked for the railroad in the summer and was laid off in the winter.

I pretty much fed my young family with that gun, snowshoe rabbits and ptarmigan.

If for some reason I had to get rid of all my guns, that would be the last one to go.

Not a glamorous as most guns, but functional, reliable, and I know with it I could always eat.

Don't know about the Savage 42, but if its anything like the 24, its will worth keeping in any gun stable.
