Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Single Shots 410 Packable Grouse Shotgun

A week or so back I saw a TC Contender Super 16 barrel in 45/410 pop up in the local classifieds. I really enjoy pack rifles and Contenders and so I jumped on it quick and bought it to try. I've never owned a 410 of any sort before, but thought it should do ok as a grouse / rabbit / small game shotgun. Took it with me to try out yesterday and was able to bag 2 grouse, which were the only ones I saw. Both were shot at about 20 yards and while not hammered like a 12 gauge would do, they both dropped on the spot with a load of 3" 4s. Definitely a fun little gun that is super easy to fold down and carry in a backpack. And with the trigger work I've had done on the Contender it is really a nice shooter.
