General Comments

I have several shotguns from a Remington SP-10 to a Franchi AL-48 in 28 Gauge to a Remington 11-87 Turkey gun in 12 Gauge, but this gun is the most fun by far. It makes killing patterns to 35 yards with #7.5 shot if used on crows and rabbits, to 28 - 30 with #6 if used on squirrels. Recoil and noise are unobjectionable, and it is a delight to carry through the woods or field. The .410 doesn't get enough respect, and the standard full-choking doesn't help its reputation. Spend enough time with this gun and you will start to entertain strange notions about trying a more expensive gun in the same chambering, say a Browning Citori or Beretta Silver Pigeon with their more versatile chokes, in order to see just what this round can do in close-quarter hunting.
