Home Forums Birds & Dogs Shotguns 28ga fans?

Well I finally found one, a slightly used SP1 w/28" barrels...kinda seems like a good grouse gun.

I have a CZ O/U in 28 gauge that I like to shoot at doves. I have taken a few pheasants over the years with it as well but more often use a 20 or 12 for ringnecks.

Personally, and FWIW, I feel the difference between the Beretta "baby" frame 28's, and the 28's on the 20 gauge frame is negligible. I have two of each, a Black Onyx and a Quail Unlimited on the 20 gauge frames, and a SPI and a 687 EL Gold Pigeon II Sporting on the baby frames. The only way I can tell the difference in the frames is to get out my calipers and measure! LOL! Even the firing pin holes are same distance apart on all of them! But I realize I am a peasant, and defer to those individuals with a higher level of discernment. Regardless, they are all great shotguns.

Stud, I'm quite pleased with my new 28ga., but I'd agree with you as I have a SP1 20 ga. as well, likley not a big difference in handling, but for me they will serve different "needs".
