I began my dove shooting "career" 65 years go with a J C Higgins .410, Tenite stocked, double. At 8 years of age. About 10-12 years go I revisited the .410 double scene and started opening the season with them every year. It has been hugely fun but required me to relearn how to mount and establish lead on a dove with the little guns.

Here's three of my favorites, all 30" barreled. From left to right, FAIR Verona O/U ...... Dickinson Estate ...... FAIR Iside Tartaruga Gold.
