.410 & RABBITS

[J. A. EARLY]

I couldn't post this under other fine doubles (even though I think it is and American made!) so here goes on man's Best Friend(s). Here is the .410 I bought here recently, sent to Mike Orlen and had the right full choke opened to almost cylinder. It came in handy today in the thickets where Porky (L) and Tracker (R) ran the first rabbit for half an hour until a fifteen yard shot from the open barrel and then the second bunny for an hour before a ten yard shot. I must have moved twenty times to outsmart both rabbits. In the tight thickets this little Fox turned out to be just the ticket for close shots. There would have been nothing left with a 12 or even a 20 gauge. It is hard killing rabbits by oneself in thickets.
