I looked though a few threads on here and did not see anything posted about this. Does anyone know when the Stevens 301 turkey in .410 will be available? I have seen a few other forums where it has been talked about but cannot seem to find any information on its availability.
Thanks in advance.

Thing weighs as much as a 20ga. Killing a turkey with TSS out of a .410 is about as hard as a 12ga and lead shot. Works better than the 12ga ead shells we used 20 years ago, really. Never smoked one like that back then.

Yea, I have seen it on several websites, like academy. When I call they have not received them. I have only tried a few, Tyler, Rockwall and Mesquite. I may just stick to the original plan of a 20 gauge for my 10 year old but thought it an interesting little gun.

Unless your 10 year old is a bigger boy the 410 is gone be better. The loads I load for my 20 gauge kick just as bad as my 12 with 3.5in mag blends.

20ga, practice with 3/4oz Fiocchi. Only shoot turkey loads at turkey.
Somebody needs to sell 7/8 or 1oz #10s for 20. Recoil is pleasant and the patterns do well enough at 40.
