TOFINOtom Posted January 8, 2013 Report Share Posted January 8, 2013 Really don't like asking but must spend some cash on a new shotgun before i spend it on something foolish like a new stove or cupboards. found a great grouse location while moose hunting this past fall.seems no one hunts them. mule deer and moose are whats hunted in the area. a nice 410 to pot the blues ruffies and big old sharptail. lots in the big fir trees but many more in the willows. could use a .22 but i think the 410 would be ideal.shots under 20 yards. anyone have a 410 mossberg??? how has it performed for you ? have and had 12 and 20 ga. mosseys and they have been good reliable firearms tks TT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BarryinIN Posted January 8, 2013 Report Share Posted January 8, 2013 My brother had one the last I knew (we don't talk much). It was actually the New Haven brand- same thing.It was alright. Always seemed to work. Kind of a cute gun, really.He used it on pigeons, but I don't know if he got any except the time I saw him shoot at some from inside an old barn. Ordinarily I don't think much of the .410 on game, after seeing sitting rabbits hit with my dad's single shot Winchester 370- and run. But grouse- it might be OK there.I would look at prices on shells before buying. Sometimes, but not always, .410s cost as much or more than those Winchester, Remington, or Federal 100-rd packs of 20 or 12 gauge shells. The only .410 I have is my dad's old Win 370 and a Contender barrel, and I don't shoot either enough anymore to buy often. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
