Red, you kinda sound like a kindred spirit, so to speak. The idea abt. the Stoeger has merit, in fact one of my buddies has one and I shot it after he had limited out and my Mossy had broken down with me needing 2 more birds. I finished my limit with the Stoeger and I liked it. This is our...

joed, as I replied to Virginian's post, I enjoy being a member of this group of friends. If I wanted to "move on" as you suggested, I would. I'm not asking for advice on the wisdom of my choice of hunting venue, only input on the choice of 410 O/U to purchase for next season. Thanks anyway.

Thanks, Mag. I'm feelin good abt. my gun, goin to the woods tom. to field test on the sq.

Delta, your post makes a lotta sense, prolly the most practical way of solving my dilemma. The name of our dove club is " Fourth Quarter Dove Club", reason being that most of us are 60 or older. I've never owned a "nice" gun, just some good serviceable ones like 870, 500, 1100, etc...

Hey Virginian, I'm from central LA myself. When the idea about using 410's to shoot doves was brought up I thought " well this is crap, They're hard enough to hit with a 12 ga. " However our landowner gave us no vote on the matter, so we all stayed in and went along with the idea. I like it...

I'm in a dove club where we are required to hunt with 410s. I currently shoot a Mossberg 500 pump which I bought used. It gets the job done and actually does better than the other repeaters some of my buddies shoot. For some reason there are feeding and cycling problems with most of the 870s...

Thanks all for your input. After much researching and deliberation I ordered the Beyer aluminum sleeved barrel from Brownells. When I unpacked it I knew it would lighten up my rifle because it was LIGHT. I wasn't dissapointed. After I installed it and reassembled and shouldered my 'new'...

I had one and hunted with it for years. I did have a problem with the piston, spring, tube etc. rusting and fouling, as I did hunt in the rain occasionally. I would disassemble, clean up with solvent and toothbrush, wipe down good, and spray down with dri-lube. I'd do this about once a...

Yep, I considered a standard barrel as opposed to a bull barrel, but the barrel channel in my stock is for the bull barrel contour, so....

I'm brand new to the site, so hi to all. Got a question, I have a Ruger 1022 in 22LR with the factory hammer forged bull barrel. I use it for squirrel hunting and man does it get heavy after a while. I'm looking to replace the factory barrel with a lighter one and am looking at the Beyer...
