joeshaw08 Posted September 8, 2009 Report Share Posted September 8, 2009 I picked up my new Baikal 410 with a moderator a couple of days ago and thought I'd take it out tonight for a razz with the lamp. I was on my own tonight so I had clipped the Deben Tracer on top of the barrel, which meant I couldn't see over the sights very well at all, so I ended up missing a few. I will have a lamp man with me next time I reckon and hopefully bag a few more. I wasn't sure how the little guy would pattern, so I was shooting them at around 20 yards. Some dropped, some didn't. I'm still getting used to the 410, but I reckon good things are in order for the future. It's not fully moderated, so I wasn't sure how the noise would be. It didn't seem as quiet as I'd liked, but I'm behind the gun. I guess you can only appriciate the level of quietness when in front of the gun (although I haven't found any willing volunteers to test that out for me yet!) but the rabbits didn't seem too spooked and some even offered me a second shot! PS, I was using 2.5 inch, 11gram number 7s Cheers, Joe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
apache Posted September 8, 2009 Report Share Posted September 8, 2009 Thought with a SG you tend to mount the gun on the underside of the barrel? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joeshaw08 Posted September 8, 2009 Author Report Share Posted September 8, 2009 I would have, but the barrel is only thick enough in diametre for the clip nearest the top. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Westcountryman Posted September 9, 2009 Report Share Posted September 9, 2009 I'm thinking about getting one of these myself. I would have thought you would need shot heavier than no 7 for bunnies though. I wrap some black tape around my 12 bore barrel to make it thick enough to mount a lamp. Nice shooting!

BSA-airgunner Posted September 9, 2009 Report Share Posted September 9, 2009 nice one 410's are greatly underated me thinks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luckytrigger Posted September 9, 2009 Report Share Posted September 9, 2009 Good shooting! I use a baikel full modded .410 and use a deben mini pro lamp without the scope bracket fitted. Ive drilled out the bracket fixing point on the lamp and just cable tie it to the underside of the barrel. Ive put some bicycle innertube over the mod to protect the metalwork from the cable tie and it works a treat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rascal Posted September 10, 2009 Report Share Posted September 10, 2009 Eley do a subsonic .410 cart which work well through a moderated gun to reduce the noise Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stubby Posted September 10, 2009 Report Share Posted September 10, 2009 great little guns, Im using a pedretti hushpower 410, maybe its me, but I havent found sub sonics to be that quite, eley fourlong 65mm seem the best to me, but as you have stated, Im behind the gun, although went for a walk over my permission with it, fired off a mixture of 2 1/2" and 3" magnums and on chatting to the farmer later, he hadent heard a thing, and he was in the next field they were no 6# size, but others have recomend 5# especially for pidgeon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
