Have owned and hunted with several 28's, but the only one that stuck (and the shotgun I use for most early-season upland hunting) is my 5 pound 2 ounce Fausti side-by-side. It can be carried easily all day even by [/b]old farts like me[b]and kills stuff fine.

I was trying to not be so descriptive as to why I like light shotguns. 😉
Well, it is what it is...
I like this one, a Merkel that handles great. Light, but not too light, just right.
