Opinions on .410 firearm options?
I have an Iver Johnson Champion but it’s a full choke and I don’t want to open it up.
I like the idea of the Win 42
I seem to remember Old Ironsights having challenges with his 9410
Not interested in break action or semiautomatic.
Whatcha all think?

The Winchester 42 has been on my bucket list for a long time but seldom found over here.

Re: Opinions on .410 firearm options?
Yum ... Win 42. They are getting pricey though. Maybe an old Lefever double?
Didn't CZ make a Ring Neck or Sharp Tail 410 ... I forget what it was called?

Re: Opinions on .410 firearm options?
A 42 by all means unless it strains your budget. I have the CZ over and under and love it. A Remington 1100 in .410 would be nice also. That said , I seldom shoot mine due to shells being so high and hard to locate. I shoot my 28 gauge CZ sbs instead. 28 gauge 1100's are extremely nice.
Re: Opinions on .410 firearm options?
you could have your .410 D/T for choke tubes.
I think that win 42 would have to be really really nice to warrent paying 4 times what you can get a mossberg for.

Re: Opinions on .410 firearm options?
I have an old High Standard Flite-King skeet gun, I shot lots of ducks with it using 3" #5( before non toxic)
A few years ago I added a CZ Ringneck ( I think) with fixed i/c & mod. It's killed a lot of pheasants and chukar!
If I were in the market I'd look for a Beretta 680 series 28/ 410 combo, a Browning Citori if I was wanting an O/U.
CZ for a juxtaposed.
Or a Browning BPS, 870, 1100 .
The 42s are pricey but as long as you don't abuse it it will certainly hold its value.

Re: Opinions on .410 firearm options?
I’m partial to the Mossberg 500. My first shotgun was a 410 Mossy. Still have it and use it. It’s now 61 years old and other than keeping it clean and replacing the magazine spring (my fault it didn’t wear out) nothing else has been needed.

Re: Opinions on .410 firearm options?
I think small frame .410 doubles are just sweet!
Re: Opinions on .410 firearm options?
My challenge with that my friend is my taste in sxs and superposed exceeds my wallet.
I’ve sold my last BLR and looking to get into a 410, MEC Jr and reloading components for my sales price.
Kind regards,

I still have my first shotgun. Mossy 500 (well, Western Field 550). Runs like new.

Re: Opinions on .410 firearm options?
Until a couple weeks ago I had three 410 doubles . A Rizzini O/U with two triggers , a Crescent Arms SxS with two triggers and the old Iver Johnson Hercules SxS my mother gave my dad for Xmas when I was about 15 of course they were all used when we acquired them . My father never fired any of them but I have . I sold the Crescent to a friend of a friend a couple weeks ago . The Rizzini may go down the road soon but the IJ is sticking around a might longer .

Re: Opinions on .410 firearm options?
I had a Browning Superposed BEGIUM made 410 that was skeet and skeet a few years . When I acquired it the gun was actually unfired in a Browning hard case it was made in 1970 . I shot it maybe 200 times in five years and sold it to a customer friend . At the time I had a circa 1970 28 Superposed to match it !

Re: Opinions on .410 firearm options?
I bought a Marlin 410 back when they were first brought out on the 336 action . Gun was brand new and sat in the safe the first two or three years I had it . A friend was after me to shoot a skeet league with him so I took the little Marlin one night . Bear in mind the gun was unfired other than possible bay factory test shots . Anyway I shot two rounds of skeet with it and only missed the second shot at doubles three times and actually I didn’t miss the darn gun was so tight it was difficult to smoothly work the lever . Anyway I thought 47 out of fifty not bad , shortly after I sold the gun for a tidy profit .

Re: Opinions on .410 firearm options?
I still have my Marlin 410 along with a Baikal o/u and a Mossy 500 (still in the box). Prefer the O/U and will probably try and send the Marlin down the road this upcoming gun show. Had a 42 that was my Grandads, but it went down the road. He used it for bobwhite quail, but none around here. Shells are expensive, but have made some with 9.3x74r brass that seem to work pretty well.
Re: Opinions on .410 firearm options?
Most may already know this but at some point Mossberg went from a single action bar to double action bars. If you’re looking for a replacement fore grip make sure you get the correct one.
I’m not sure why they went to double bars. I suppose the myth that single bar guns can bind might have driven the decision. But the truth is binding, if it does occur isn’t a gun problem it’s an operator one.

I love the Browning Superposed. Probably as much the story of the gun as the gun itself.6pt-sika wrote: ↑Wed Aug 23, 2023 11:32 pmI had a Browning Superposed BEGIUM made 410 that was skeet and skeet a few years .

Re: Opinions on .410 firearm options?
I can honestly say I’ve never had a Belgium made Brownimg Superposed in my hands that I didn’t shoot well . And I’ve had them all 12-20-28 and 410 . Now with that being said I e has quite a few Citori’s in my hands that I also shot well.Tycer wrote: ↑Thu Aug 24, 2023 10:01 amI love the Browning Superposed.

Re: Opinions on .410 firearm options?
The Henry 410 lever is a good gun.I had the win94/410 and I think the Henry is a more solid and reliable lever in 410.For better patterns get the version with the 24inch barrel and screw in chokes .The only thing though with the Henry your limited to 2 1/2 inch shells.
My current 410 is this TPS M6 410/410 .Just a fun little gun to play with
