Thanks for the comments guys. I remember the old days when as a lad of 12-15, I used to hunt Valley Quail with my grandfathers old M42 Winchester 410. With it's modified choke, I could get on them faster and hit them more often than with my grandmother's 8 lb. Browning 20 ga. auto. Even got close enough to take a Bandtail Pigeon once. Now there is a tough bird.
I find in my advancing years that I hike and hunt pretty far from the roads. Especially for stuff like Blue Grouse and Mtn. Quail. Was thinking of getting a light 20. But read John's article on the 28, remembered hearing nice things about it from other users, and remembered how much shot shell ammo has improved since then.
Anyway, thanks again. E
