pete k Posted March 28, 2005 Report Share Posted March 28, 2005 jordan i have got one and would not part with it as i find it is a really good gun , i use it for ratting ,rabbiting,rooks and some time pigeons when noise might be a problem . it will fire any 410 cartridge and works well with the fourlong cartridge , a mate has just bought one and is going to attach his nite sight to it and i have got a laser attached to mine for nite shooting , try saddlery and gun room they have a website and there is also one available in wiltshire rod and gun in swindon for £310 pete Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dunganick Posted March 28, 2005 Report Share Posted March 28, 2005 i tried a 20g one, and found that it shot about 1ft high, as the stock is a standard one for a single barrel, yet its got an extra half inch on hte top, which the bead is then sat on, so if your going to get it to shoot you probably need to have it fitted properly (this one was a hushpower) so i dont know about other makes. the finish on it wasnt amazing, but you get what you pay for, about £250 at the saddlry and gun room (biggin hill) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hunter Gatherer Posted March 28, 2005 Report Share Posted March 28, 2005 Are these all single barrels or do they do o/u's? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gralloch Posted March 28, 2005 Report Share Posted March 28, 2005 I have seen a double barrel .410 silenced - far too barrel heavy. Better sticking to the .410 single barrel hushie. My local gun dealers do not stock subsonics, so I use 2.5 inch cartridges, which funnily enough I find quieter than 2 inch. It is a great gun, and ideal for squirrels, close bunnies and work round buildings etc. A word of caution though - they are by no means silent. I reckon mine is the same noise as a .22LR with moderator. When I use it in my two acre field, it still spooks my neighbour's horses. Also great for shooting out of the 4x4 side window.

wacker Posted April 4, 2005 Report Share Posted April 4, 2005 I went out with Pete k Saturday with my Hushpower and had a good day Smoking bunnies all afternoon, i was using Fioccie 3" magnums, a bit louder than your usual .410 ammo, but we were sniping warrens & it didn't seem to spook them as they kept popping up every 10 minuites! I haven't yet tried subs yet so i don't really know how quiet it would be. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
