S99VG: So you were in the woods and “packed along a .410 barrel in case of need”. I can see the need for an over-the-back-scabbard for the barrel kinda like for a machete, whip it our, change the barrel, shoot the snake, skunk, robin or whatever and quickly change back in case the deer was deaf and has not left the county? I like Fireball2’s idea better. :-))
I think Roy and I are kind of saying the same thing and, no, I don't own a 410 barrel and never have. Although I still think the idea was for shooting vermin/varmits, criitters or game for the pot as Roy would put it. I don't think Savage really had anything like bird hunting in mind with the switch barrel idea. But what do I know what they had in mind with the 410 barrel. Who on this forum has seriously used a 410 barrel and what say you?
