Im very pleased with 410/28 combo...thats why I perchesed the 2nd 410 set. One has the splinter and the other is BTF. I would still love to have a original Parker 410....but..$$$$, maybe someone will feel sorry for me and will me one. The reason I like the Parker repro's so well is...mine all fit me the same! I perchased them all in the same configuration, lenth of pull,drop, ect. My 410/28, 20/16 and 12 gauge are all so close to the same I can grab anyone of them and not miss the first couple birds out due to gun fit. I don't have to get use to a different stock fit when I change guns and or gauge. Perfect!!!...(-:
As to the shooting...I was shocked how many sporting clay targets this little gun crushed!, even out to 30 -35 yards...WOW. The gun with the 410-s in place is slightly muzzle forward, this is good and helps me keep a controlled swing with a small light gun, its smooth and not wippy. It actually swings better than with the 28ga barrels. I can break clays quite well with this gun. The 410 gauge not my pick for hunting live game...we get so few chances to harvest game birds now days and not shooting due to out of range isues is not for me. If I walk and hunt hard and only get a couple flushes give me a 16 or 20 gauge! I will not feel cheeted if its to far out to shoot! I do hunt wrabbits with beagles on their tails with my little 410-s...(-: now thats fun and sport all in one! I don't care if the wrabbit wins either. I don't think Elmer Fud ever killed the wrabbit but he did a lot of shoot-in....
I think full lenth 410 inserts would be a good set up, it would add just the right amount of barrel weight to the 26" 28gauge barrel set. Put them in the 26" set and leave them there, swap over to your 28ga 28" M/F barrel set when shooting 28gauge shells. I think this would make a great 410/28 combo set! thanks all SXS ohio....(-:
