Farmboy91 Posted January 16, 2020 Report Share Posted January 16, 2020 (edited) Just fishing to see what's about. I'd love to get back to shooting again and would need something that's not going to smash my shoulder about. Looking for a cheapish 410/28 bore if there's one about. Ideally in the Suffolk area. Thanks all. Edited January 16, 2020 by Farmboy91 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Newbie to this Posted January 16, 2020 Report Share Posted January 16, 2020 Have you thought about giving a semi-auto a try. They are not so harsh on the shoulder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, a 20 gauge Remington 1100 would be ideal. I have a 16 gauge and it has no more recoil than my 410. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have been looking at autos but in the past have always found I shot best with O/U's, I also want to keep the weight down as much as possible, thank you both for the replies though 👍 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Boggy Posted January 16, 2020 Report Share Posted January 16, 2020 You'll probably find more 20 bore O/Us available for sale with a range of differing models and prices. Using sensible loads in a 20 bore, recoil can be kept to a minimum. OB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be honest I've got a small bore itch I've never properly scratched I've seen 410's from £150 onwards and 28's from just under £200, everythings to far away though.

Mr. Merkel Posted January 17, 2020 Report Share Posted January 17, 2020 Another suggestion for you I bought my daughter a 20bore Franchi Veloce as her first gun it weighs in at 5lbs 7oz shooting 19gram loads she found it very comfortable, unfortunatly you dont see to many of them for sale in the UK. Good luck with the searching. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B&W FOX Posted January 17, 2020 Report Share Posted January 17, 2020 The only problem with 4.10 or a 28 is the cost of the cartridges compared to 20 or 12 bore light loads. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dankidd Posted January 17, 2020 Report Share Posted January 17, 2020 Have a look at the Kofs 28 bore. Seriously good little gun for very little money. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If your going to shoot a lot of clays then yes, the cost starts to come into it. I shoot 410 exclusively so reload my own but only 50% to save money, I enjoy shooting my own shells. How much would you save over a years shooting? I shoot about a thousand rounds a year and the difference would be ?????????? over and above shooting a 20 gauge ?????? Two ...three pounds a week ????? One less pint. Edited January 17, 2020 by Walker570 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah I've got my eye out for one of them, nothing close enough second hand, been scouring freeads, gunstar, guntrader etc nothing close enough. 1 hour ago, B&W FOX said: The only problem with 4.10 or a 28 is the cost of the cartridges compared to 20 or 12 bore light loads. I'm not fussed about cartridge prices I haven't shot since last May/June time and I'm just looking for a way back in. 1 hour ago, Mr. Merkel said: Another suggestion for you I bought my daughter a 20bore Franchi Veloce as her first gun it weighs in at 5lbs 7oz shooting 19gram loads she found it very comfortable, unfortunatly you dont see to many of them for sale in the UK.

Thanks Walker, for the amount id actually shoot I dont mind a few extra quid on cartridges here and there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
