Home Forums Birds & Dogs Shotguns You're favorite 28ga

Post some pice of that!

My favorite was a Browning Citori XS with 30" barrels and exhibition wood. It was a bit heavy for a 28 but it fit me perfectly and was very well balanced. I really wanted to keep it but I could not come up with the coin Browning wanted for it. Two months earlier and I would still have that gun in my vault.

My current 28s are a Browning Cynergy and a Beretta 682, both standard models with 28" barrels. The Beretta is technically my wife's but I use it more.

I can't see owning a pump and especially an autoloader, the cost of shells nearly require one to reload. The pumps and autos result in too many lost hulls for my liking.

Thanks.

When you find one like that, fits the shooter to perfection, it’s a keeper.

The Ivers are a great gun..........not gonna wow anyone with bling.........but built like tanks and will last forever if treated half right. The 28's are probably the rarest, except for the .44XL guns.

Mine's ugly and in need of a refinishing. But ammo is pretty common at most Walmarts. AA Winchesters, usually.

687SP3 with 28" barrels and a Verona. Love the 28ga.

One thing I dont really get is when I hear people say it cost too much to shoot factory ammo. I figure 12ga is 6 to 7 bucks a box and 28 is 9 or 10 bucks a box. I'll never shoot enough where that adds up to being a big difference.

No doubt, shells are usually the least expensive part of hunt...It pales in comparison to the expense of usually getting there....gas, food, license, perhaps lodging, etc, etc....

I reload.

I have MEC single stage 650 presses, set up in 12, 20 and 28 ga.

Too easy to not reload.

Remington 1100 Sporting Clays Model. It’s deadly on dove and quail.

If I was to ever buy another 28 ga automatic, it would definitely be the Benelli Ultralight.

remington 3200 comp 28ga skeet.

One shooting TSS shot, because it turns it into LW 12Gauge.....

Benelli Legacy 28 ga. 5 lb. weight, my go-to shotgun shooting pheasant and chukar over my pointing Lab.

Used to own a Ruger Red Label 28, but never could really warm up to it.

With Fiocchi Golden Pheasant loads of 6 or 7.5 shot, 7/8 oz. loads and fairly open chokes, it is a killer!

I'd have to go with the Ruger Red Label....
But, the Benelli would be a close second.
AND, I really like the Remington 870 too. I guess what I'm trying to say, just go with the one you got, or get the one you want.

Do you load it or buy ammo?

DF

Buy....for now. Have a mec 16ga, but haven’t really looked into TSS reloading.

I load it for my Beretta Ultra Light in 28.

Talk about punching out of your weight class!

Browning Citori Quail Unlimited (41 of 100)

Great pair.

I have that one and a 1100. Use them all, like them all.
