Good question,I really liked those when they came out,the gun shopp has had one for awhile now,kind of pricy at $450.To me the .410 is a neat little shotgun.I don't think I would want to do much in-flite bird hunting with it though,I sure could wear out some jack rabbits with it though. Sage hens could be cool with it if I ever get back out west. Around here Sqirrels,coons,possiums,yotes in close.

i like the idea of having a lever-action shotgun, but for practical purposes, if i were going to have ONE shotgun, would i be best off getting a 12-gauge?

It probably would ron. For my purposes a 9410 Packer Compact would be perfect. I hunt rabbits during the winter, and that would be a nice light quick shotgun that is an action type i like. It also has sling swivels so then i could carry it on a sling until necessary, so that when i am hunting on snow shoes, i could have both hands free until the necessary time. NH_Hunter |

I think that this rifle is a neat concept but I'm not overly impressed with it. About the only place I'd have need for it is if I were hunting cans or rats. Of course squirrels and rabbits could be taken with it but I don't get into that much anymore other than just a few days a year. Just me.

I think it would be fun to take it to the trap range. If no one saw the shells I would tell them it was a rifle. Wing master |

Neat gun, but it seems awfully specialized, and awfully expensive. If I wanted a 410 bore as a knockabout truckgun/rabbit killer, I would get a single shot breakopen, for somewhat less than the $450 to $500 range. Marlin's market research guys must think it is viable, because they are bringing out a 410 version of the 336. The only way I would want one is in a switch-barrel, similar to the old Savage 99 that was available with a 410 barrel. |

i'd really like to get the marlin version, glad to hear that it is going to be coming out! as i said, the lever action shotgun is a conceptt hat i really like, but i would hate to spend that kind of money on it and not have it be any good for hunting. it looks like it would do alright for rabbits and upland game birds?

Tash, Kind of light for game birds. Not that it can't be done but a .410 is a real experts gun not the beginner gun everyone thinks it is. I've seen a lot of kids discouraged because they couldn't hit anything with em. Kind of like usin a .222 Rem for deer. Shot placement is everything. In answer to your previous question. Yes, get a 12 guage. You can't go wrong with a Rem 1100 auto or 870 pump. I'd take the 870 for everything from reduced AA trap loads that the wife can shoot with no recoil to 3' magnum heavyshot turkey and duck loads that really thump em (and you). You can get a new 870 express for around $250. But unless you like rust you'd be better off with a regular 870 for about $100 more. The matte finish on the expresses needs constant care, RD

Not just light, but it does seem to be stocked like a rifle. Might not be so hot for wingshooting.

Squirrels as well if you are so inclined. OR! Show up at the range to compete with the masochists who like .410 trap. That lever would definitely raise a few eybrows.

Tash, Rockydog makes some good points but dont go for the express. Go for the Wing master. The only difference is the fit and finish, but their is a big difference. Used Wing master's in our part of the world go for less than a new express. My oldest Wing master was made in 1956 and has seen at least 6 years on a trap league. and many-a-years of hunting (my dad bought it new) No telling how many rounds have been shot thru this gun and it has never failed to cycle even one time for me. You wont be sorry. Wing master |

Taz; I'd certainly take a look at the 20 gauges also. Try both gauges in the same gun for fit, feel, & swing. The 20 may adapt to the boys better too. Then again, on second thought, go the 12 with 3" mag loads only - it'll always be YOUR gun. 900F |

I just came in here to poke around today and saw this. I just picked this up at lunch today My plans for now are mostly cans and trap, with some varmit control on the farm. When my boys are 10, they will probably get to use it to shoot grouse while with me on deer hunts (Idaho gives kids from 10-12 to hunt birds but not big game). That way they can get used to being out and hunting a little early, and maybe even drop a bird or two into the pot at night.
If my niece can fire it, she will probably get to borrow it this year, since she is old enough. Overall though, I can't think of a single reason I needed it, just I love lever guns, and to have a shotgun is great. If they came out in a 12 gauge, I would probably get one fairly quick. --Carl |

carl - thanks for some real-world applications here. as i said before, i love the idea of a lever-action shotgun, and if i were going to get one, i'd sure want to know what i could hunt with it, or even if it would be practical for hunting. good to see you posting! hope to see more of it! |

I have posted before, but I guess my login expired and the login name needed to go up from the 3 characters I had.
Anyway, I love lever actions, and this shotgun has been calling to me for a while. I just got a series of bonuses at work that covered the expense, so I went ahead and got it, with the main reason being a fun little shotgun. We have dove and quail thick here around the place, with the grouse at camp, I have enough hunting use to justify. Add in the use by my nieces and kids, and I have the justification forms for the wife complete I really wish they would do one in 12ga though. I don't need another 12ga, but I would probably buy it because i love the lever guns. As far as teaching kids to hunt birds, the single shot 20ga did a wonderful job for my brothers and I. The recoil is really not there, and you learn to shoot well, since if you don't get it in that one shot, the pheasant just keeps going. Great motivation to learn to shoot well. I signed up again to try and give NH_Hunter some input one the lever gun thread, but didn't get the activation e-mail right away and work took off. Will probably get in there and add my 2 cents also. --Carl |

The reason i was looking into getting one was that here in Ohio, we are shotgun only for deer. Some handloaded slugs in a repeating 410 with rifle sights is almost as good as my 30-30. Close as i could come to the deer medicine im used to carrying. Also be good for small game and grouse, i would imagine. Just my $.02 Huntinbull Edited by Huntinbull |

If your really looking to hunt with a shotgun, I would stay away from this particular type gun. Now using a .410 gauge on anything puts you behind the 8-ball so to speak. Ok on rabbits very close in and squirrels if your not moving around any while "still hunting" as it just doesn't have the punch or range. I like the idea of the slug issue for younger people to deer hunt with, however, once again the 20 gauge is a better way to go. If money is an issue, look at the pump guns and get a good one. The Remgington Wingmaster is a slick as they come in that department. The Express models are tuff & ruffer ( a hunting tool ) Winchester's model 1300 is in the same catagory. |
