adam f Posted August 21, 2010 Report Share Posted August 21, 2010 One of my permissons is a golf course - which I shoot with a rifle 90% of the time, which is fine. Quiet and effective for the bunnies. But, it's between a good few crops fields and a great roosting wood - so plenty of oppertunities for shooting woodies on flightlines or roost shooting, plus the odd bolting bunny from the long grass. Ive used the 12g there a few times, but it's so damn loud - and alot of the shooting is just before dark when the course is nearly empty but a few people still around. So - what shotgun would you guys recommend? I was thinking a .410, but moderated or un-moderated - or maybe one of the other smaler gauges?? What's the pros and cons of each? Thanks in advance.

HDAV Posted August 21, 2010 Report Share Posted August 21, 2010 Have you tried the sub sonic carts? quieter in i normal 12G and cheaper than buying a moderated one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sitsinhedges Posted August 21, 2010 Report Share Posted August 21, 2010 A 410 would be too restricting. I use a moderated 20g O/U and it has pretty much the same capability as any normal shotgun, just much quieter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Subsonic cartridges aren't that much quieter in a normal gun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HDAV Posted August 21, 2010 Report Share Posted August 21, 2010 Subsonic cartridges aren't that much quieter in a normal gun used them at a clay ground and quieter than most normal clay type loads.....depends how much of an issue the noise is perhaps worth buying a box of sub to try I have a few left over somewhere if your local Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
adam f Posted August 22, 2010 Author Report Share Posted August 22, 2010 Interested in the mod. 20g? I assume this is a double barrell o/u? Which make and model? How loud is it compared to a mod / un mod .410? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wildfowler.250 Posted August 22, 2010 Report Share Posted August 22, 2010 Would you be legal,(if stopped and questioned) shooting woodies on a golf course? I'd go for a hushpower. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How loud is it compared to a mod / un mod .410? Its all here http://www.saddleryandgunroom.co.uk/Gunroom/SG_Hushpower.htm Don't let the top pic put you off it feels and mounts like a normal O/U in reality.
