Shadowchaser Posted February 7, 2021 Report Share Posted February 7, 2021 (edited) I'm looking into the Beretta Silver Pigeon .410 O/U's. The Sporter has an adjustable stock and 30inch barrels. The Field has 28inch barrels. Does anyone have either of these guns who can offer an opinion on them? Does the Sporter have a manual safety? (I would assume the Field is auto safe)? Also, are they full sized guns? As in do they have full length 14.75 inch stocks rather than the usual scaled down .410's you normally see?

button Posted February 7, 2021 Report Share Posted February 7, 2021 I have 28 bore which is full size and judging by this so is the .410 https://www.guntrader.uk/guns/shotguns/beretta/over-under/410-gauge/686-silver-pigeon-200625154902002 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
welshwarrior Posted February 9, 2021 Report Share Posted February 9, 2021 I’ve shot both a few times the 30” sporter handles better and has a little more weight to it than the field. The 28” guns I found hard work to shoot in comparison. Both have 14 1/2” full length stock with the option to change to a larger pad. The actions where scaled down to bore but I feel the combs have been made a bit low at the same time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shadowchaser Posted February 9, 2021 Author Report Share Posted February 9, 2021 Thanks for the input. If I do purchase I think the sporter will be the one to go for. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
222mark Posted February 9, 2021 Report Share Posted February 9, 2021 Try a Browning 525 .410, they are a full size gun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

welshwarrior Posted February 9, 2021 Report Share Posted February 9, 2021 I think you need to be clear what you want a scaled 410 action and barrels with adult stock or a full size (often 20bore) action with 410 barrels. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
