neil3728 Posted June 10, 2013 Report Share Posted June 10, 2013 Thinking of buying my 8 year old daughter a shotgun, she had a go at the Yorkshire Game fair and really liked it. That was shooting a .410. I'm struggling to find a .410 would a 28g be okay, how is the recoil compred to the .410. Seen a few for sale but all asking a lot more than I want to pay as i'm not sure if she will drop the idea in a few months. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
welshwarrior Posted June 10, 2013 Report Share Posted June 10, 2013 28 bore is a better choice if she can handle the extra bit of weight use light loads no 28g. 28 bores are fashionable at the moment and do cost abit more. I have a Yildiz single barrel 410 I use to teach kids I've cut the stock down and with a 1/4 choke its more usable than the old extra full choked guns. Oh it only cost £150 brand new!!

neil3728 Posted June 10, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 10, 2013 £150 brand new, now all i've got to do is find one, thats a price i could afford. I'll also keep an eye out for a 28g. just think at the moment one might be too heavy for her. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rimfire4969 Posted June 10, 2013 Report Share Posted June 10, 2013 I have a Lincoln 28 bore under and over that my son used, it has a cut down stock by about 2 inches (still have the wood) Under / over single trigger in very good condition. I am going to put it on Gunwatch in the next day or so. The thing with 28 bores they are not cheap like a 410 but give a lot lead in the air and better pattern. Buy the 28 bore and i will throw in a single barrelled 410. One for use now and one when she is a bit bigger in a month or two. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A good offer, Send me a pm with costs and i'll have a chat with the Mrs who hold the money see what she thinks, still might need to win her around that two guns are a great deal.

BrowningDJC Posted June 13, 2013 Report Share Posted June 13, 2013 I always think if you are going to go for a 28 bore you may aswel buy a 20, only fractionally bigger and much better range of ammo. My younger sister started with a 20 and has never wanted to change it. Used 21 gram shells to start with, and now shes more than comfortable with any load she chooses through it.

There's not much in 28g these days but got 7 boxes of duck shells other day for 5.50 each wooooooo Edited June 13, 2013 by the pigeon man Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it fits well and is balanced should be fine, a lot of shortened guns have horrific balance! For a youngster mail shooting clays perhaps the odd pigeon or game day there are plenty of loads available. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neil3728 Posted June 14, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 14, 2013 My daughter is quite a skinny little thing, the only time she has shot was at the game fair which was 10 shots with a .410. As she handeled that okay i'm tempted to find a .410 for her to start with and move to something else when she got a bit bigger. Which I can then pass onto her younger sister who is 5.

HDAV Posted June 14, 2013 Report Share Posted June 14, 2013 .410 are great for shooting static clays but can be discouraging for moving targets. If you can find a usable one go for it. plenty knocking around under £100 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bakerboy Posted June 14, 2013 Report Share Posted June 14, 2013 (edited) .410's are also very good for moving targets. I do not have any disappointed youngsters on a Sunday Shoot with the .410 Edited June 14, 2013 by bakerboy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
welshwarrior Posted June 14, 2013 Report Share Posted June 14, 2013 .410's are also very good for moving targets. I do not have any disappointed youngsters on a Sunday Shoot with the .410 I agree set them up right open choke small shot easy target = happy kid hitting targets with some coaching. I would not recommend a 75 yard mini crosser with 5 shot as a starting point for an 8 year old they may loss interest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
