My 93 year old friend/benefactor is sitting on a Beretta combo gun, built on a 12 gauge frame with four barrels - 12, 20, 28, and .410. It looks decidedly odd (weird? ugly?) with the sub-gauge barrels installed, but it works, balances well and works ok.

My best all-time all-aound gun I've had: 20 gauge LC Smith, 28" M/F. The gun that was most magical in my hands for Clays, skeet, doves, grouse: 28 gauge Miroku/Anschutz O/U (on dedicated 28ga. frame), 26" skt1/skt2. Never had a .410 of any stripe that I would call "magical" - but of course I've never owned a single shot .410 so maybe I rushed to judgement....
