Sorry big guy, but I'll let you shoot it

I've been looking for a while, too and passed on several in the past for one reason or another or didn't have the $$. (they ain't gettin' any cheaper). No box but it's about 98% shape with mirror bores. Momma Kat said OK and Happy BD, Anniversary, Xmas and everything beyond and let me get buy it.

It was in Houston, so I didn't even have to pay shipping. Trying to recover from my annual bout of bronchitis, but hope to get out next week to shoot it. Barely have enough left to buy a box of shells, though!

That is too cool Puma Guy!
Have you fired it yet? I would love to know kind of kick it has. My daughter, H-dub, might be interested in something in this caliber. Although, I've heard it's not the easiest for skeet, due to the amount of pellets compared to a 12ga round.
I'd like try for around late May to mid June. This is really shaping up to be a quarterly skeet shoot get together.

Let us do another skeet round. I like to practice more.

Thanks! C-dub. No, I haven't shot it yet. Clay shooting is a real challenge with a .410 for sure. I have never shot anything but 12 ga so this will be............ let me say interesting.

My brother was a dead eye with his Winchester 101 .410. These guns are not as heavy as their higher gauge counter parts and O/U's usually are little lighter than comparable gauge pump and semi-autos, but recoil shouldn't be too bad. Next Skeet shoot I'll definitely bring it and she's welcome to try it. I also have an old Remington 1100 20 gauge standard weight with a 26" IC barrel she could use. You guys get it together and I'll make every effort to be there. I will probably be up in Mansfield before Easter, so I may check just to see if anyone wants to meet up at Alpine. All our family's BD's, anniversaries and of course Mother's Day are in in the first half of May and I never know if I'll be home, in Mansfield, Tx or Fischer, Tx. Late May to mid June sounds good. Beiruty, we all need practice for sure.
