410 o/u ? what to do ?

[crazyfish]

So I was having a couple drinks with a neighboring farmer , chatting about the fall harvest and life. He says I got a gun you might like ....... goes to his safe and brings out a savage 410 o/u , didn't remember to get a model # , sorry. shows it to me and looks in decent shape , looks like mid 80's early 90's vintage , plainish stock. Says the kids don't want it , he doesn't use it , am I interested? I said kinda interested ...... its just not a gun I would use much. I also don't have any clue about the value of the gun so I was afraid to make an offer , didn't want to insult the man , or grossly overpay. So I'm left with an open offer to make him an offer anytime I like. Thoughts ????

Was it the combination rifle? 410 over 22, savage model 24? If yes I just watched one of those go for >$750 at auction a month ago.

I have a chiappa double badger 20/22...same idea, combination rifles are pretty neat to have. Good bushwacking varmint gun.

Call your neighbour and get a model number. Also need barrel length and whether it takes 2.75 or 3" 410 shells, which will be marked on the barrels. Without that no one is going to be able to give you decent advice.

I too am interested if this is still available.
