There seems to be a lot of grouse out where we hunt deer. It is quite remote, we may pack in all of our gear, camp from time to time and we do a lot of hiking, so I was hoping to get a very, very light shotgun to take the opportunity on grouse when possible.

What I am looking for is light weight, single shot, 410/20 gauge and good to 30 yards. My budget would be less than $500.
 
The beauty of using a 12 ga is that it would be a lot more versatile, it would be could for many other game species as well as a good bear defense gun.
 
Dude's asking for a 20/410 gauge single shot break action and gets recommended short barreled 12ga pumps?

OP, look at Canada Ammo for your original request.

Considering your budget I'd get two. A wood 410 and a synthetic 20ga...and then get free shipping.

This is what I am looking for, thanks! Are the chokes fixed or threaded?

Any of the turkish single shots will fit the bill. You can get them as short as 13ish" barrels and up to 28" barrels, in .410, 20ga or 12ga, so you can pick exactly what you need. They fold in half to take up less space when packing them in too. There are a few different types that i have seen over the years, Some the whole trigger guard moves back to break the action, some have a lever in front of the trigger to break it, and some the whole trigger guard is the lever. You also have hammerless and hammer types between the 3 break types, so you get lots of choice there.

I've got a 20" barrel 20ga i got from corwin arms that has been fantastic, it points well for me and hits what i am aiming at well, nice and light, works great. I preferred the 20ga because it has removable chokes vs the .410 which is usually fixed full, plus you get that extra bit of shot in each shell, but the recoil is still managable.

The only thing i would say is they are light, so avoid 3" shells and hot and heavy loads or your shoulder will pay. Similarly, i probably wouldn't want to do much shooting with one in 12ga.
 
Just picked up this for like 160 from Corwin

The SINSINATI is exactly what I am looking for but I don't see any 20 gauge listed on the website. I might have to contact them or find another retailer that has them.

20g, removable chokes, external hammer, brake action and folding are all the things I am looking for. The price is right too.

Looking at the Dominion and SINSINATI it looks to be the same gun with a different brand?
