I have regularly used my Dad's 12 bore but was wondering whether i should get a 12 bore or a .410 I would like to get an over and under as i have grown up using this. Any Suggestions would be welcome.

Nobody can answer this question but you!! Well i would only be using it for shooting pigeons,moles,rabbits and doing clay shooting and i could do all of these things with a .410 and therefore dont see the need in getting a powerful gun. As long is it does these jobs i would be happy. Cheers for the advice Quote Link to post

Cheers There you go then...answered your own question....you will also find a MUCH bigger choice of 12g guns than 410, and also a MUCH bigger choce of ammo, and as it happens lots of it cheaper than 410 ammo as well....enjoy!!!
