viking Posted June 15, 2008 Report Share Posted June 15, 2008 im thinking of getting a 410 for shooting rats around my mates farm, i was looking at a webly the other day it was a junior, and i thought i could use that and the keep it for my lad even though it will be a couple or 3 years before he is old enough to be using a shotgun, so not sure if i should get a junior one or not, and i want a o/u or sxs that is just like a normal shotgun and not a bolt action or a folding one, so my question is whats out there that meets my requirments, many thanks, lee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve_b_wales Posted June 15, 2008 Report Share Posted June 15, 2008 I've got a Yildiz 3" chamber side by side .410. an excellent gun but, not the cheapest. Shop around and see what's available. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beatingisbest Posted June 15, 2008 Report Share Posted June 15, 2008 Has to be said..... BAIKAL! For £369 you cant really go wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scarpa Posted June 15, 2008 Report Share Posted June 15, 2008 I just bought one of the little Mossberg Hushpower pumps. Quiet, couple of back up shots, and it's just put it's first rabbit on my table today. Great little gun for shooting near horses or houses.

tosspot Posted June 15, 2008 Report Share Posted June 15, 2008 How much do you want to spend? Browning do a nice B25G for around 8K My vote would go to the Yildiz, good solid gun that won't depreciate much at all :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devon Fox Posted June 16, 2008 Report Share Posted June 16, 2008 Bought myself a Baikal s/s for £310, its mint and has had very few carts through it. looked at the yild', nice gun, much more pretty than mine, they start at about £400 ..... my gun will not get that much use so i went for the cheeper alternative in the baikal I love the little 410, a much underestimated gun, we have small bore driven day and you can only use 410 or 28, and they kill very well, a lot less pricked birds, they are dead or missed.

wildfowler.250 Posted June 16, 2008 Report Share Posted June 16, 2008 As mentioned before, the Yildiz is a nice little gun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
njc110381 Posted June 16, 2008 Report Share Posted June 16, 2008 One thing to consider if you want your little one to use it is weight. The Baikal weighs a ton for a .410! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
viking Posted June 16, 2008 Author Report Share Posted June 16, 2008 cheers for all the answers guys, thats why i was thinking about the webly junior, i kooked at one the other day and it was small and very light, i dont mind it not fitting me cos i wont be using it much and really it will be for my boy to use eventualy, think there about £475, a fair bit cheeper than the browning that tosspot mentioned, cheers, Lee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baldrick Posted June 17, 2008 Report Share Posted June 17, 2008 I made a rather embarrassing mistake with my .410 last night, shooting rats and pigeons inside our empty grainstore. I took a rather close shot at an escaping pigeon, which I head-shot, but also punched a clean fist-sized hole through the asbestos roof sheeting. Not clever. Very angry with myself, as I really should have thought before I squeezed the trigger. The hole is easy to patch. Just a salutary warning about how powerful a .410 is, despite its weedy appearance.
