I love my .410's. I have a DeHaan sxs with 28" pipes that is the sweetest gun ever. I have a couple of 311's too, and Neil is working on a custom 311 as we speak. That being said, I agree with Jim and others here that a 20 is a better choice and certainly more affordable as, except for the junk 500 at walmart, .410 cal guns usually bring a premium price. Remington still makes a .410 870 wingmaster but it's $1,000.00! I want one but it's way down my list of priorities. If the only gun you are looking at is the mossburg I would pass. Then start looking for a nice remington wingmaster, Ithaca 37, or the likes in 20 ga. I also agree with Joe in that if you can be effective with a .410, you will smoke em with the bigger bores. I grew up shooting a single shot bolt action stevens .410. I got good enough that I could back up my dad if he missed with his Browning A5 12 ga. Fit is important. Kids usually have trouble with barrel length along with length of pull. If you know a good smith all those dimension can be altered to make it fit better. Just my .02.
