I wish I could shoot a nice double. I can't even shoot a o/u as well as I shoot a automatic. I did hunt all year with a Franchi 48 delux in 28 gauge so I could be a real bird hunter...grin.
Huntaria setter very nice double.

There is no accounting for taste.
Experience is a great thing as long as one survives it.
Generally, there ain't a lot that separates the two however,
Barely making it is a whole lot more satisfying than barely not making it.

Appalachian grouse is that way too. Believe it or not, I've put this gun through a bunch of thickets. If I took close-ups, you'd see a few scracthes.

Went on a plantation hunt last weekend and used my 1100 in 12 ga, worked perfectly. If buying a gun for the task I'd love a 28 ga.

Personally I'd take a serious look see at the Franchi 28 semi that JB has for sale in the classifieds. By my way of thinking it'd be about model perfect when it comes to a semi and quail!
Just a thunk..

Nothing like a 28 on wild birds, whatever the configuration. Pen raised birds are .410 worthy, or you ain't tryin'!
