Savage Arms 23001 42 Takedown .22 WMR 20" 1-Round OD Green Shotgun

The Savage Arms 23001 42 Takedown .22 WMR 20" 1-Round OD Green Shotgun is a specialized takedown rifle engineered for law enforcement training, small-game hunting, and precision shooting disciplines where .22 Magnum performance meets tactical ergonomics. This platform delivers reliable semi-automatic operation in a compact, field-serviceable configuration that appeals to shooters who demand modularity without sacrificing accuracy or durability in demanding environments.

Built on Savage's proven takedown system, this rifle features a 20-inch barrel chambered in .22 Winchester Magnum Rimfire, delivering superior ballistics and energy retention compared to standard .22 LR, making it ideal for medium-range target work and pest control applications. The OD Green finish provides a modern tactical aesthetic while offering corrosion resistance in field conditions; the 1-round single-feed design ensures controlled, deliberate fire suitable for precision-focused shooting protocols. At 7.62 pounds, the rifle maintains a balanced profile for extended shooting sessions, and the takedown design allows field disassembly for transport, storage, and maintenance without specialized tools—critical for mobile operations or training scenarios.

Law enforcement instructors, military transition trainers, and competitive rimfire shooters benefit most from this platform's reliability and modularity; it serves as an economical training rifle for marksmanship fundamentals and trigger control development. The .22 WMR chambering and compact barrel length make it suitable for indoor ranges and urban training facilities where noise and recoil management are operational priorities. Compatibility with standard Savage accessories and aftermarket upgrades ensures shooters can customize optics mounting, grips, and sighting systems to match specific tactical or recreational requirements.
