Anybody on here ever used this little .410? 12" barrel that is legal because its manufactured that way. How does it pattern?
Thanks

My dad's has 20 inch barrels and patterns very well. Pattens are better with the 2 1/2 inch shells over the 3 inch. It's a real sweet little number for chasing snowshoe hare in the winter. It's mild recoil, small size, and quick handling make it a real pleasure to shoot.

The only negative, is that it can't shoot a slug accurately due to its short barrels. Then again, what can you kill with a .410 slug? Too weak for deer and not accurate enough for smaller game like coyote, fox, or ground hogs.

Gun shops are selling them here in Ontario and people are hunting with them. They are legal and non restricted.

cheap little fun-gun for $169

Nice to have for thumping grouse at camp or pests around the barn.....

I just sold a 410 single shot for $75.00, it had a long barrel though.

After looking at that picture, I realise I made a mistake ...sorry my dad's gun is a Stoeger Coachgun double barrel! Not the Stoeger backpacker

That's one of the silliest "guns" I've ever seen.

I'll stick with my Italian Richland 28 guage o/u for plinking.

Carl, since we cannot hunt or carry handguns like our american neighbors

, this might be the next best thing for a pack gun.

What is one of the higher paying jobs for a backpacker wanting to work 3 months in australia? I'm going to Australia for the month of july and I wanted to work for 3 months, I was wondering what the best paying job would be for a backpacker? and also the nicest place to live for the months of july, august, september? What would the average monthly rent be ?
