Yes, they are. Can't afford a Parker 410....

I’ve got a nice little IJ 410 double but got a Crescent that looked the worse for wear about five years ago . The little Crescent actually points nicely ! My only other choices are a circa 1970 Superposed skeet and a European O/U thing we got thirty years ago .

Oh yeah, I love my Crescents, great for quail also! Some guns just fit and are the perfect shooter.

I shot a humbling round of sporting clays with my Fox FE 410 over the weekend. Need to get it out more as I hope to use it on woodcock in a couple of weeks and quail in January.

I'll trade you all 3 of my Crescentstuff for your's! I was fortunate enough to hold a little FE 410 years back, wow,what a beautiful gun it is!

I'm a .410 dove and quail shooter too, Chris. I know how much fun it is to take a limit with one.
When I'm shooting late season doves here, lots of them are big, mature migratory birds. And, they take some killing. Way tougher than early season doves. I have found that the WW 3/4 oz. load patterns beautifully in my guns. It goes against all reason, but they do. Big medicine for late season doves. What loads do you use? Do you stick with 1/2 oz., as I assume your Crescents are all 2 1/2" chambered? Best, SRH |

For sure Stan, them birds can be tough ol cobs! I'm sold on the 2 1/2" half ounce load. I've been loading #9 shot for the past couple years. I'll load 7 1/2 or 8's for quail. They pattern nice and hit hard!
