BIG 5 Posted December 27, 2008 Report Share Posted December 27, 2008 I am seriously considering purchasing a .410 but know little of what I should be looking for. Being a light gun, I thought it would be ideal to carry around when I am checking my feeders. It would be used to pot off any vermin I encountered. I have looked at some but they are cheep and nasty but don't feel I want to pay for a £1000 Beretta. Also what barrel length and choke should I be looking for? Your expert advice would be helpful.

JRDS Posted December 28, 2008 Report Share Posted December 28, 2008 (edited) I would think about a 28 bore as they alot more flexible and it wont weigh anymore than a 410 in most models. Lincoln do good mid range guns, avoid Baikals they weigh as much as most 12 bores in the small gauges and are unbelievably stiff when new!! I has a 28 bore Investarm for a while for my daughter and although they are perceived as cheap and nasty it was actually not bad at all for the money, only issue was the top level was stiff as it actually cocks the gun. Barrel length, I would go for a 28 inch 1/4 and 1/2 or multi. Edited December 28, 2008 by JRDS Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fatcatsplat Posted December 28, 2008 Report Share Posted December 28, 2008 I'm looking for a cheap 28 at the moment and they don't appear to exist in my price range (unless single barrell). Get a cheap 410 and have a go at it - If you go for a single barrell initially, you will only have spent about 50 quid, so not too damaging on the pocket if it ain't right for you.

JRDS Posted December 28, 2008 Report Share Posted December 28, 2008 Investarms are cheap new and even cheaper SH. I have handled the Zabala Beri Beri at York Guns and they are extremely well made for the money if you don't mind a SBS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GatGun Posted December 28, 2008 Report Share Posted December 28, 2008 Mossberg 500, standard or hushpower. Good reliable working guns with no frills. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
