Growing up in the rural midwest it is needless to say, but I have taken dozens of rabbits and squirrels along with more than a few quail and dove. As a survival tool, this gun is very versatile and it will allow the shooter to take both small to medium sized animals and most any birds. One of the best advantages to a person in a survival situation is that this combination is chambered for commonly available ammunition and that ammunition is light and small enough that it can be packed in relatively high amounts without causing an undue burden. The Savage Model 2. The Savage 2. 4 can be found in the following caliber combinations 2. LR. 4. 10. 22. LR2. Gauge. 2. 2WMR2. Gauge. Hornet2. Gauge. 2. Rem2. Gauge. 3. 0 3. Gauge. 2. 2 Hornet1.

Having an optic on the gun obviously also reduced the speed efficiency of the getting on target with the shotgun. The evolution in ACOG Aim. Point type scopes, other advanced optical sights and after market rail systems, now allows the shooter to mount an optic out further forward on the gun so you can shoot with both eyes open and not worry about being hit in the eye. A newer optic like that may be an option on an older gun like this, if you prefer to use an optic instead of just open iron sights. Overall. The. 2. Caliber. Gauge combination would be my one gun survival tool. But I would certainly not shy away from any of the others Savage Model 2. How can you argue with a. Gauge shotgun for taking deer and small game.
