Hi everyone,
I've been, and still am, away on hiatus...but while I'm away from the states in this desert, I still can't help lamenting the duck season and upland game seasons I am missing. After I get back, or maybe even before if I get the info I want, I'll purchase a 28 gauge to add to my box of toys.
I want a 28 gauge...because:
1) I just want one, I have a couple of 20's and several 12's - all are awesome. But, I just want a 28.
2) I'd like a light little shotgun for people to shoot who haven't felt the recoil of a larger bore gun.
3) I think my son will like it too...it'll be my gun for damn sure but I think that he'll enjoy the light loads. (He has a 20 gauge montefeltro now).
I want one that is built on a true 28 gauge frame. I could settle for a 20 gauge frame, but I want a nice pettite gun. I was looking at beretta 686's before I deployed - the quail covey one looked nice. I'd be able to spend about 2500 without changing wives (just a joke my wife of 17 years is the coolest.
So which makers currently manufacture a 28 gauge (o/u or sxs) in a true small receiver?
Which ones use a 20gauge receiver?
Thanks for your time...looking forward to your replies.
Stay safe,
LW
