5 Best 410 Shotguns

If you are in the market for a new shotgun, you may want to consider a 410 shotgun. This shotgun is popular among hunters and shooters for its versatility, ease of use, and effectiveness in hunting small game. However, there are a few things you need to consider when buying a 410 shotgun.

Action Type:

Lever Action – Although many people consider it outdated, the lever action shotgun is one of the more enjoyable actions in a 410 shotgun. Whether you are hunting small game or just having a good time on the range the lever action shotgun is a great choice. Due to the tube magazine, a lever action 410 will give you more capacity than the other action types.

Pump Action – The pump shotgun is one of the most popular actions in history. From military use to hunting to self-defense, the pump action is widely considered the best all-around action type. When it comes to 410 shotguns, the pump action is a favorite among small game hunters.

Semi-Auto – Although the semi-auto isn’t as popular as some of the other action types on this list for 410’s there are some available. Used mostly for hunting the semi auto 410 shotgun allows hunters a quick follow up shot if needed.

Break-Open – Break actions cover over/under, single shot, and double barrel 410 shotguns. The oldest action and widely considered the most reliable, the break action, is a classic that is still efficient for both hunting and sport shooting. The downside to break actions is capacity is limited.

Revolver - .410 Revolvers and Pistols have become increasingly popular over the years. These guns typically are capable of shooting 45 Colt or .410 shells for maximum versatility and concealment for self-defense.

Chamber Length:

When choosing your next 410 shotgun you need to think about how you plan on using it. If you plan on hunting turkey, you want to be sure the chamber accommodates a 3” shell. If all you plan on doing is target shooting a 2.5” chamber will be all you need.

Barrel Length:

If you plan on shooting at range, you’ll want a longer barrel. Typically, 410 shotguns for turkey hunting or clay shooting have a barrel length of at least 24 inches.

When choosing your next 410 shotgun, you can rest assured that MidwayUSA has the best selection of .410 shotguns. Look below for our Top 5 .410 Shotgun Choices.

About Browning

Browning is one of those classic, traditional companies with a long, proud history. To get to the very beginning one would have to go back to 1805, to the birth of Jonathan Browning in Tennessee. Jonathan was the father of John Moses Browning. Like many of his time he sought a life in the West, which eventually had him setting up shop as a gunmaker and gunsmith of some note in Nauvoo, Illinois and eventually brought him further West, with the Mormon pioneers to Ogden, Utah.

Beretta 687 Silver Pigeon III Over Under Shotgun

The Beretta 687 Silver Pigeon III shotgun represents an elegant evolution of the Silver Pigeon I, designed to meet the needs and desires of shooters looking for the reliability of the 680 platform presented with attractive aesthetics and a superior wood finish. The fine engraving is made with state-of-the-art 5-axis laser technology and is embellished by a special sparkle in the bas-relief areas, which creates a pleasant contrast effect. The floral motifs and evocative game scenes are highlighted with pheasants and partridges. The exquisite gloss finish enhances the grain of the stunning class 2.5 wood and protects it from rain and improves longevity. All these features are combined with the excellent ballistics guaranteed by the Steelium Optima Bore HP tri-alloy steel barrels.

 

The 687 Silver Pigeon III is the shotgun for those who want a game scene shotgun with classic looks, quality and elegance, without sacrificing the legendary reliability and minimal maintenance requirements of the 680 platform. The pistol grip stock, available with a 35/55 drop, and forend are made from selected class 2.5 walnut wood and covered with a lustrous gloss finish that is resistant to rain and humidity and highlights the precious wood grain. The stock and forend are also finely chequered for an improved grip. The 20mm MicroCore butt pad ensures a comfortable and accurate shouldering as well as a safe, stable support when shooting.

 

The 687 Silver Pigeon III’s receiver, which is derived from the legendary 680 series, features a slim, elegant shape characterized by the tried-and-tested locking system with iconic trapezoid shoulders and dual conical locking lugs. The fine engraving with game scenes, combined with a modern floral motif, reproduces a theme created by the Beretta’s master engravers and extends to the bottom of the receiver, where the shotgun model and the Beretta logo are shown. The engravings are created using state-of-the-art Beretta technology, namely a 5-axis laser, capable of engraving rounded surfaces while maintaining perfect continuity in the design and reproducing, even in bas-relief areas, a precious contrast effect that typically characterizes premium shotguns. The top view of the shotgun boasts a particular finish that highlights the new key engraving and the elegant design on the action frame and on the receiver shoulders that is aligned with the motif on the junction of the upper barrel.

 

The gun features a gold-colored single selective trigger. The selector is located on top of the safety tang, allowing the user to select the barrel for the first shot with a simple, rapid sideways movement. The ultra-reliable and sturdy ejection system is the tried-and-tested version used on the 680 platform. This venerable platform boasts more than a million guns in use over the course of more than 30 years. The 687 Silver Pigeon III features the famous Beretta Steelium barrels in tri-alloy steel, characterized by deep drilling, cold hammer forging and vacuum relieving. The special geometry, with its 80-millimeter double forcing cone, is designed to offer outstanding performance and always perfect and uniform patterns, reducing at the same time felt recoil. The 6x6 windowed top rib with accurate, anti-reflective checkering and a spherical steel front sight is a clear reference to the most exclusive Beretta over-and-under shotguns.

What Customers Are Saying

Excellent shotgun for the money.

Fit and finish are great. Shoots like a dream. The action and safety were really stiff out of the box but loosened up nicely after a couple hundred rounds. I'm using this primarily for sporting clays.
