bowhntr1980 Posted March 24, 2008 Share Posted March 24, 2008 Has anyone ever used gauge reducers. Saw some in Cabelas that reduce 12 gauge to 20, 410, 16 gauges. Are they safe and has anyone tried them in their SBE II etc. I am thinking about trying them because my nephew just turned eight and will be able to go on his first youth turkey hunt with me this spring. But I can't afford another shotgun right now and thought this might be a solution. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CraigL Posted March 24, 2008 Share Posted March 24, 2008 I'd be more inclined to simply use a lighter load. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOB_HARWELL Posted March 24, 2008 Share Posted March 24, 2008 I don't think they will work in an auto or pump. Look at the Seminole choke tube company site. There have been some heated debates about these things on some other forums. BOB Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Novaking Posted March 24, 2008 Share Posted March 24, 2008 they are for o/u,side by sides or single shots only. They don't don't pattern very well anyway. For a little extra money you can buy him a single shot. check out remington spr 100. there ok for the money. novaking Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bowhntr1980 Posted March 25, 2008 Author Share Posted March 25, 2008 Hopefully I will be able to expand my inventory and pick up 20 gauge and 410. A co-worker is checking with one of his friends to see if I can borrow his 410 for now. I did read some of the reviews on the Little Skeeter Gauge Reducers in Cabelas and they seem to indicate that they do pretty well except that the hulls needed to be pushed out of the reducer itself once fired and ejected.
