If you want a 28 gauge, now's the time. I don't see hardly any 20 gauge and .410 ammo on he shleves. But I see tons of 28 gauge ammo on the shelves.

Same here. 12 and 28 is available anywhere, 16 and 20 is hit or miss. 410 is still nonexistent locally

I bought a Beretta A400 Excel in 28 but never looked to see if it would take 3" as I didn't know they existed till now.


I may not be smart but I can lift heavy objects

I have a shotgun so I have no need for a 30-06.....

Yes sir I know. Like the Benelli SBE. However I am trying to avoid paying 1800 for a 28 Gauge which will not see too much use outside of dove hunting and some waterfowling use
That said I do want a 3" chamber.

The other listed do have a 3" chamber but no ejectors. Not a huge fan of extractors. I guess I am high maintenance and I want it all. LOL

28 is so overrated. Most times it is hotter than 20ga and easier to find on the shelf

Why is it overrated when used within its limitations....Whatever they are....Buying off the shelf is not always necessary, if you plan ahead and order online.
