I was always told a 410 was a good tool for exactly what you outline... on the Life sentence block.... I too have one of a few acres, and would of followed my own advice if I hadn't thought..... hmmmm wouldn't mind shooting a few clays on occasion... and may be even a Duck or Turkey or two... So I bought a Fabarm XLR 12G and haven't looked backsince.... even the big turkey and geese loads handles with ease (bugger all recoil compared to the remmy I had) and pumps through the Falcon 28 for a box of clays with no stoppages that also keeps the cost down.

Mine cost me $1200 new and I've not regretted a cent!!!
