Forgot about this!!! Bought this for my oldest when he was 7yrs old. Being really small for his age, even youth guns were to much. The youth model rifles when held up he would arch his back really bad just trying to hold it up being that they were too front heavy for him. This is a Snake Charmer .410, had it drilled & tapped with a Red Dot to shoot slugs(2"1/2) & can also shoot fine shot (will shoot 3" also). Barrel is 18"1/2 long & weighs 3 1/2lbs. Went with a Millet Red Dot due to young ones not knowing about eye relief with a regular scope. Worked out perfect. He got the gun for Christmas & killed a doe that evening! My youngest also killed his first with it, a doe at about 65 yards & a buddy's 8 yr old daughter killed a 180lb 8 point with it. Gun ran about $125 14 years ago, I'm sure price went up some. Can shoot a 3 shot group in a skoal can at 75 yards with slugs! Not bad for a smooth bore. Also has a a safety on side.
