I bought a 410 skeeter this past week and shot a round of skeet with it Sunday at the Club,(Plymouth Rod and Gun). Neill, you're absolutely right about balance and swing in the hand. Shoots like a dream. Mine has 26 inch barrels, beautiful wood and ejectors. Just love this little 410. All original. The only plans I have are to replace the lacquer stock that has multiple scratches in the finish with a nice oil finish. I paid $3500 for it and have seen some advertised for over $4k.
