    2 Points: The 400 Legend has just slightly more case taper than 350 Legend, which makes the 400 feed NOTICEABLY better than the 350 Legend in the Savage rifles. 2. The 215 grain Win Point Point load has been chronographing over 100 fps faster than the 2,250 on the box out of 20”barrel Savages. Not to slight the 350 Legend, but, IMHO, the above points are practical advantages over a .350.

    Hey Randy, thanks again for the second ''review''! With that kind of ejection from light loads and the point of aim, especially the first 2 shots, and their price point, I don't see how a man could go wrong! Also, with the improved ''tang safety'' as you mentioned, it sounds like Mossberg's listening to it's customers, imho. As I said, thanks again!

    A question for my/all our hopeful future, and maybe a video content idea for you. Scenario... I have gotten as old as the hills but I'm still creaking around and still able to hunt albeit very slowly and a little painfully; but the shotguns I have each have an issue that makes them too difficult to hunt with at my advanced age and I need one that will suit me and help and finish up my days in the field. --- What shotgun brand - model - gauge - style should I pick as my last one for easy-recoil, loading, carry, unloading, safety, etc... ? --- No single answer could be right for everyone, of course, but something as a generality for most would be a great answer. --- Thank You.

    • @RandyWakeman
      @RandyWakeman 8 днів тому

      I'm not clear on what specific issues you are referring to, or what you are hunting. Personally, I consider a 6 to 6-1/4 lb. 20 gauge ideal for most everything. www.chuckhawks.com/20gaugeandthehighqualityshotgun.html . Heavy loads are not needed for dove or quail, and if you use TSS loads, even a ¾ oz. load of TSS #8 is good for wild pheasants to fifty yards.

  • @americaspistoleeracademypi5156
    @americaspistoleeracademypi5156 8 днів тому

    Great video. Thanks for posting. Inertia action though... will it kick like a mule with heavy 3 " shells ?

    • @RandyWakeman
      @RandyWakeman 8 днів тому

      It is hard to find a cooperative mule these days to compare. A couple of things: a heavy lead 20 gauge load is 1-1/4 oz. at 1185 fps, not the 1330 - 1400 fps commonly used in 12 gauge. So, you are starting with a lower intensity load, it is only one or two shots per day at wild pheasants, and as it is cooler weather you have built-in padding as a matter of course. The 1-1/4 oz. 1185 fps load is something I never notice when hunting with a 6-1/4 lb. gun that fits. Certainly, a gas gun is softer shooting, as is a heavier gun. A heavy 20 gauge diminishes the purpose of a gun that is carried all day, but is only shot a couple of times.

    I bought one of these in the pro waterfowl and what a piece of sh*t it was. Would function after many rounds cleanings, etc. sent it back for repair and their gun smiths damaged screws, scratched the finish, and put a new barrel on with a crooked rib. Their customer service is awful and their gun smiths are hammer mechanics. I’ll never buy another high end mossberg again.
