First off I sold my Marlin 410 years ago long before they tripled (or more) in price!
After culling the herd here a little been thinking about next purchase.
May post some CA legal stuff in the future, have to look things over.
Top of the list to purchase because I have no 22 mag long gun is a Henry Small Game, 22 mag with peep site (old eyes)
But NEXT is the a lever 410, for buck and slugs, so time to ask opinions especially from those that may own and use either of two Brands/Models. I've had my hands on both at the local Cabelas, but aren't going to pay their inflated prices.
Truthfully I'm not overly versed in shotguns so am posting to my "GO TO PLACE" for info, CalGuns!
1st: The Adler 410, with fixed modified choke, 2.5 chamber, but some reviews say they take 3in shells also? About 20" bbl, bottom loader, approx. price $315
(Cabela's $399!) Has odd lever that extends down from receiver when operating the action.
Decent quality.
.
Next are the 2 Henry's about twice the price but both tube fed, The 20in bbl model has a fixed Cylinder Bore choke, 2.5 in chamber adjustable sights
I think all the specs for both the Henry's will show at this link:
They can be had for $650 (20 in bbl) -$680 (24 in bbl)
Henry info states the 24 in bbl. has a full Invector choke, which is removable (others available separately, are they all that short??), I looked at it and it really is quite short of course not a big gauge bore either, and bead front sight only.
I do have a Mossberg M500 E 410 that handles 3in shells. Right now it has the 18.5 bbl on it, but I do have the longer bbl. for it also. Also have my brothers Monkey Wards bolt action 3 shot 410 that handles 3 in shells, cost $25 in 1958 delivered to the front door!
But the lever action "hole" in the collection remains.
So any info on the three lever shotgun guns (410ga), opinions would be appreciated.
As an aside:
Have been trying to sell my mint condition Ted Williams M-200 12 ga for several years on the Market Place here, after several "I'll take it PM" buyers that evaporated (don't ya just hate those types) I recently decided to keep it as the more I handled it the more I realized it really is nicely balanced and VERY smooth, even with the small poly choke on it, so I'm keeping it and just need to do some thing about the petrified recoil pad!
With close access to a City operated range now here in ABQ, New Mexico, you can shoot trap, skeet etc 5 buck per 25 clays or something like that, or rifle and pistol range is $6 all day. We are developing a shooting club group in our Del Webb to go to the range on frequent basis.
