beatingisbest Posted June 20, 2008 Report Share Posted June 20, 2008 Have heard that they are like swinging a drainpipe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mickeylove Posted June 20, 2008 Report Share Posted June 20, 2008 Bought one last week and love it to bits except for the horrible plastic stock Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrispti Posted June 20, 2008 Report Share Posted June 20, 2008 Got the 410, workes VERY well Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vole Posted June 21, 2008 Report Share Posted June 21, 2008 I use Hushpower 12g alot but have the Pedretti. Used to have the Baikal,works well,tough built but not for carrying around for long.The Ped is about 6lb and normal gun length.You have to get used to the sight picture as they shoot low due to the mod. I am thinking about the .410 as well. Saddlery and Gunroom have a 12g Pedretti for sale. Good chaps to deal with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deer stalker Posted June 21, 2008 Report Share Posted June 21, 2008 Have heard that they are like swinging a drainpipe Spot on! i have tryed all of them from .410-12 bore Pedretti/Bakial the best one i found was the pedretti 20 bore. the mane problem with the 410 is it takes to much power out of them not there canons to start with.

drut Posted June 21, 2008 Report Share Posted June 21, 2008 Like Vole21 I use the Pedretti !2G Hushpower,Baikal is allegedly much more reliable but I could not come to terms with its handling.I use a Baikal .410 with 10" Hushpower silencer & find it OK if a little overlong. As has been already stated you have to learn to aim high. Regards: drut Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
henry d Posted June 21, 2008 Report Share Posted June 21, 2008 mane problem with the 410 is it takes to much power out of them not there canons to start with. How do you mean "it takes to much power out of them" ?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vole Posted June 21, 2008 Report Share Posted June 21, 2008 Subsonics,if that is what you mean have no problem killing quarry. 1,100fps is a fair old velocity and I get exceptionally clean kills. The moderator takes none of the energy away. Great gun if you have a need for one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mossy835 Posted June 21, 2008 Report Share Posted June 21, 2008 im thinking of getting the 12 gauge mossberg 500 hush power with the spare barrel,any good, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drut Posted June 21, 2008 Report Share Posted June 21, 2008 Have handled the Mossberg & quite liked the feel of it.However length may be a problem & it is noticeably louder than the Pedretti. If I was more skilled (I am cr*p) at using a pump action & could get the benefit of the extra shots it might tempt me. Regards: drut Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How do you mean "it takes to much power out of them" ?? i have shot pigeons over decoys with a normal .410 for fun and with in reson it does the job and rabbits out to 30yard with a mag but with the moderator on basicly the pigeon waggle the arsses and fly of at you and the rabbit the pellets bounce off, i would only use a .410 with a moderator at very close range 10-15 yards.

vole Posted June 23, 2008 Report Share Posted June 23, 2008 Your probably missing them mate.There is no lack of power due to the moderator. I kill stuff with my 12g out to ranges I kill with my un moderated guns.Easilly. Maybe you need to pattern it and check out your aim etc. Its very different with a mod.

Lloyd90 Posted June 23, 2008 Report Share Posted June 23, 2008 (edited) I handled the Baikal the other day in 12bore O/U! Its a very sturdy gun! Im no small guy (tall and build (also a lil fat haha) ) and the Baikal was very heavy! Could't see myself carrying it around for a long time take it into consideration lol Although I must say they seem great guns and are highly recommended. As my mate put it, "Baikal shotguns are made from spare tank parts!" lol Edited June 23, 2008 by Bigthug87 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tinbum71 Posted June 23, 2008 Report Share Posted June 23, 2008 im thinking of getting the 12 gauge mossberg 500 hush power with the spare barrel,any good, i was thinking of getting a mosberg 500 the one withto barrles, one silenced and one normal, any body tried them?? thomas Yes!! Get it, you'll love it! I've had mine (on and off! ) for a coupla months. It really reduces the noise and once you get used to the length it's a doodle to shoot. The pump is quick once you get the hang and sounds soooooo good to load . I'm gonna sell my o/u and s/s as I really think this is the only gun I need. I hardly ever use the normal barrel tho' and found that fitted a sling made carrying it much easier. Top tip, only use subs as there is hardley any advantage at all with normal rounds.
