“.410-bore”

B. Gil Horman makes a roundup of some of his favorite function-over-form .410-bores.

Whether you’re a waterfowler, upland hunter or clay target shooter, you’ll find something to be excited about this year. Here are our picks for the best new shotguns for hunters in 2024.

HEVI-Shot has expanded its shotshell line to include its 12 g/cc tungsten shot in .410-bore. This shot is over 50 percent more dense than traditional steel shot, making the HEVI-XII a logical choice for those who like to hunt waterfowl with the sub-gauge shotguns.

Winchester brings a trio of excellent 28-gauge shotshells to the table, giving both waterfowlers and upland game hunters great new options.

Now ready for the field almost out of the box, Mossberg’s line of optic-ready 500 and 835 Ulti-Mag Turkey pump-action shotguns are being offered with an olive-green Holosun HS407K micro dot sight.

American Hunter has announced the recipients of its 2024 Golden Bullseye Awards, honoring exceptional design, manufacturing, performance and value for American hunters and gun owners.

Over the years, B. Gil Horman has developed an appreciation for the little .410 Bore, single-shot ‘utility guns.' A great up-to-date example of this class is the latest iteration of the Rossi Tuffy single-shot—the SS Poly.

HEVI-Shot has released two new product line additions to its HEVI-XII Waterfowl lineup: the.410 bore, 1/2-ounce, 3-inch, in shot sizes No. 5 or 7, with a muzzle velocity of 1250 fps.

Baschieri & Pellagri USA (B&P), has announced the latest addition to its Upland Game line: Upland Game Classic. This product is designed to optimize the performance of bespoke and vintage shotguns.
