Combination guns

Does anyone use a combination gun for fox and coyotes? The only thing I seem to be able to find is the Savage 410/22 mag. I was hoping to find a 12 ga / 222 or 223. Anyone have any recommendations? What make and model?

Jake since someone is still sleepin I'll give my 2¢...I've owned two Savage mdl 24s: 22mag over 20 3" and recently 223 over 12 3"....in my opinion they both needed wheels on them as they are heavy.
If you do not intend to walk a mile or so, they cover both short and long shots.
but if you need a quick second shot
it's a single barrel not a bolt with follow-up ammo..
I had no problem with keeping the rifle on zero when discharging the shotgun..
some folks worry about this..
Do I own one today?? NO!!

Had a .22 hornet over 12 ga. and a .223 over 12 ga. I do not own them anymore. Never had any issues with holding zero. I have to agree with Goose. Very heavy and no follow up shot.... I got tired of lugging one around. Switched to a bolt action .223. Just my 2 cents.

I also have the savage 24F in 22 hornet over 12 gauge. I love the gun but don't use it to hunt predators for all the same reasons already posted. It's a great fall turkey gun though. I will never get rid of mine because they are very hard to find. I don't think they make them anymore, could be wrong.

I have a 24 with a .223/12ga. barrel combo in fact I have 2 and I also have a .222/20ga. combo. In the past I have owned others .22/410, .22/20, I saw one of those Hornets/12's at the East Waterford show for a little over $400. and I am still kicking myself that I didn't buy it...a little on the heavy side but if you shoot the shotgun for up close and the rifle for all others I've never had a problem...Haven't shot a coyote with any of them though,but it will lay fox low.
I love mine and I have to eat "Body Builder" breakfasts and I am still able to carry it around
As opposed to a puny individual on here, like "Lookn4Muscles"....

Lookn4Muscles is correct. Savage discontinued the model 24. Don't feel bad "muscles", I'm puny too!
