A little history. A .410 is the first firearm I ever shot and that was near 55 years ago. I still have that gun, it's a Stevens 59B, bolt action. It shoots but it won't cycle rounds thru the magazine tube. Not looking for self defense or, really, even hunting as I haven't hunted with a shotgun in over 20 years. Then it was just doves. I hunt grouse but with a .22LR. I suppose I would have more luck with a .410.
My son took my 12 guage so I am without a shotgun other than the afore mentioned.
Would you hunt turkeys with one?
Specifically, I want a SXS. I was looking at my LGS and they have CZ SXS in about every gauge, and logically I should get a 12 guage. I do have some ammo for that and it is probably much more useful. But curiously I'm drawn to a .410. One thing I do remember is the smell of the spent paper hulls. It was like no other smell and I loved it.
So, should logic prevail and I find a 12 or 20 guage SXS or... a .410? What a happy quandary.
