My dad is wanting to get into shotgunning, thanks to my incessant talk of my 12-gauge and my constant ordering of parts and letting him help with the installation.
The problem is, that he has a titanium plate and 4 screws holding his neck together, which has never properly healed. This extremely limits the calibers and kinds of weapons he is able to shoot. One bad recoil kick and he's on the floor in pain and out of commision for a few days. Anything with regular recoil can end up leaving him paralyzed.
SO, we came to the conclusion that a .410 shotgun would probably be the best route for him, considering the state of his neck and back. The problem is that the only .410s I've seen are all low-capacity youth models. Awhile back we bought him a 1956 Mossberg 2-shot bolt-action that he flat-out loved, but we had to sell it during the recession.
I've seen a handful of lever-actions and pump-action .410s from a variety of manufacturers, and that revolver-carbine from Taurus, but what would be the best for him?
I'm thinking at least a 4-shot magazine, and anything not mossberg, unless it's old(He's as stubborn as a mule on that one...)
Max price hopefully is around 500, But that can go up and down a bit as needed.
If ANYONE out there knows of a good .410 with decent or high capacity, please let me know. Thanks in advance.
