I bought a cool Ithaca double shotgun in .410. Says western arms long range gun on the top of the barrels. Has 3" chambers, modified and full fixed chokes and one trigger.

Shoots well, I got some Boss #5s for duck season this year. SN dates it to the early 1940s. Does anyone have one of these or have any more info on them?

Cheers

Very cool. Interesting that it’s a single trigger gun.

Most of the ones I've seen are double triggers. It actually has the cutout where the trigger is for a second trigger so I guess that part was used on both variations of the gun.
 
Don't need it but sure would like to own a .410 double.

Agreed. I have a model 42 skeet gun and an ultra XS o/u in .410 with 30” tubes. It seems like a SxS would be a great addition!

I mean since when is needing something necessary to buy it haha.... Besides I like using it because I can pretend like I'm on safari when I'm shooting crows or armadillos
 
I have a Stoeger Coach gun that is a .410 double that I love to use on grouse and rabbits while I am on my ATV usually out hunting deer or elk.

You will love it, I know that I do mine.

Hi Roklok
I read your post on Caprivi. Congratulations.
I plan to hunt there for buff in 2026 oct.
How was the land, very dry ? But à lot of buffs ?
Thank you / merci

Chopped up the whole thing as I kept hitting the 240 character limit...
Found out the trigger word in the end... It was muzzle or velocity. dropped them and it posted.:)

I know that this thread is more than a year old but as a new member I thought I would pass along my .280AI loading.
I am shooting F Open long range rather than hunting but here is what is working for me and I have managed a 198.14 at 800 meters.
That is for 20 shots. The 14 are X's which is a 5" circle.
