.410 shotgun

Depends on what you intend to do with it / and what you mean by the best deal ? If a gun doesn't fit you / or fit your needs its a waste of money at any price...
But a couple of options --- Browning makes a pump gun / BPS Hunter model with a 28" barrel in .410 that's a nice gun for around $ 600.

Browning also makes some Over Unders in .410 ...that are good buys for around $ 1,750 in the Citori Lightning series as an example ...

------------------
Both are very good options for small game hunting / and very good values ( you get a lot of gun for your money with either option ) .

a .410 shotgun isn't a "power performer" ...so I'm a little puzzled where you're going with this ? I'm suspecting english is a 2nd language for you / so maybe we're just missing something in how I'm reading you ...
Shotguns are commonly available in 12ga, 16ga, 20ga, 28ga and .410....and at least in the US, there are a lot of shells available for each gague. As you go down in gague / the ounces of shot you can shoot drop. So where a typical 12ga load is 1 1/8 oz of shot ....the typical 20ga load is 7/8 oz, typical 28ga load is 3/4oz, and .410 is 1/2 oz...
But a pellet coming out of a 12ga gun at 1200 fps / delivers the same energy as a pellet coming out of a .410 gun at 1200 pfs ( there are just fewer pellets in a .410 shell / and the pattern is smaller )....
Are you looking for Defense ?
Are you hunting / if yes, what kind of game ?
Are you shooting clay targets ( Trap, Skeet, etc )

I've had only one O/U .410-bore shotgun, a Winchester 101. It was a handsome gun, but its lightweight resulted in a choppy swing. Now I have tubed 12-ga O/Us and my .410s swing much smoother than the little Winchester gun ever did.
If this is to be you first shotgun, may I suggest you get a 12-ga and use reduced loads. A big bore gun can be downloaded to match the smaller guns, but the small guns can't be uploaded to match the 12-ga. Also, a .410-bore gun is best suited to an experienced shooter and may only frustrate a new shooter.
