Need 410 double???

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   I'd like to get a reasonale-to-high quality 410 side by side double.  Single triggers would be nice but not necessary.  Maybe go to a grand for a good quality one.  Anyone know who makes such??????????
All help appreciated.

	I've got some Stoegers that I like, .410 is the next on my to-get list. DC

	DC Stoegers is only an importer, the quality varies as they add or drop European/asian or S. American manufactures. In the 1960 they had some really great guns, but their recent imports are either poorly finished spanish of Brazilian Side-by-sides. They use to import Bernardelli, Franchi, and Antonio Zoli. Great guns, wish I had bought more. Merlel still makes a 410 sbs, but $5000 is a little too steep for me, I think it is a side lock. I just want one to shoot rabbits with and an ocassional woodcock.

	Mine are both 3 years old, Brazillian manufacture. I got them at the same time, a 12 and a 20, fit and finish are both very nice. The store where I got them had a bunch of the Russian Baikal's and they didn't compare to the Stoegers. Wood is nothing fancy. Metal finish is not as good as a $2000 gun, but has no serious flaws. If I had the cash, I would have come home with a .410 the same day. I made only two mistakes - I got fixed chokes instead of the choke tube models, and I got the standard stocks. I didn't realize at the time that I could have gotten straight-grip stocks, which I prefer on any long gun. DC
