My Beretta A400 28 ga with 28" barrel is a sweet hunting gun. Did all my upland hunting in 2021 with it...chukars, blue grouse, sharptail and ruff grouse in BC. Mainly 7/8 oz #6 or 7.5 shot reloads. 5.5#s empty weight, great balance and handling! It also is a fine informal skeet gun with typical 3/4 oz loads of #8 or 8.5 shot. I do run a heavier magazine cap off the Beretta A400 Xcel Black Sporting 12 ga for skeet...adds almost 4 oz to the weight and helps my follow through. My AYA #2 16 ga RB SxS and Grulla 20 ga RB SxS both got a rest last season, and may again this year. That little Beretta semi-auto is a fine hunting gun!
I also have a 686 O/U Silver Pigeon two barrel set with upgraded Coles wood. The 20 ga with 28" barrels is much nicer than the 28 ga with 26" barrel in my opinion, or at least I shoot it better. Don't use the 28 ga barrel set hardly at all. Even though chasing empties is eliminated with the O/U.
