Some hog hunters love the Savage/Valmet O/U 12/.308 and similar combos. Some coyote hunters love the same in 12/222; it is especially useful for coyote callers, who sometimes get very short shots (Hunting at dusk in snow, I've had a couple shots that were just TOO short, and was very glad to have a 12 guage loaded with 4s on top of the .222....). Not comfortable with a coyote in my back pocket.
These 12/.222 guns were sold originally as "turkey guns" here, but that just didn't really work well in the US because of the turkey hunting laws here. In Finland they let you use either a shotgun or a rifle for THEIR mega-grouse.
The Valmet combination gun shown in the Gunbroker ad skeetx attached seems to me to have been restocked with a (typically unlovely) later Savage 330 stock. But it has double triggers, which makes better sense than the single selective trigger on my Savage/Valmet 2400s, IMO.
And the 333T he's advertising has 330-style "engraving" unlike any 333 I've ever seen.... Wonder where these guns came from???
Sorry, I'm kinda a Valmet nut. Maybe just a mixed nut.
