soreshoulder Posted October 23, 2010 Report Share Posted October 23, 2010 been a dream of mine to own a 28 after shooting one and noticing what a pleasure it was to shoot and shooting some 20's which were so light and point-able. Does anyone shoot a 28 on here and what are their views on the caliber? Ive been told that there are some good and bad cartridges out there, which ones should i avoid and which are best? I am looking at 4, 2 of which are yildiz, one is a lincoln premier and another (the cheapest) is a Webley and scott, has anyone got any view - especially on the yildiz or on any of these guns? cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

seeker Posted October 24, 2010 Report Share Posted October 24, 2010 Use a 28 Beretta on a true scaled action ... a pleasure to carry and shoot. On clays etc 21g homeloads. For game 21g Italian carts or 24g VIPs .... Eley now have 21g VIPs .. plas or fibre. ... a good choice. But I use a 12 for clays shoots with 21 or 24 g loads ... cheaper.

MC Posted October 25, 2010 Report Share Posted October 25, 2010 I have a HUGLU 28Bore O/U 103DE and it is great, It will do everything a 12bore will if you point it in the right place. I have used it for driven game as well as clays. It is a great little gun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willy1 Posted October 25, 2010 Report Share Posted October 25, 2010 I've an Investarm 28b o/u, use Gamebore 16gm no 6 with excellent results. Light to carry around,and very light recoil as well.I use it mainly for one of my permissions for rabbits,squirrels,and the odd pigeon.I often take it instead of my 20b.Money well spent in my opinion.

Colster Posted October 25, 2010 Report Share Posted October 25, 2010 A mate has a modest collection of shotties: 12b Aya No.4, Benelli M1, Bettinsoli 20b OU among others but the one that always comes out, whether is walked up or decoying is his 28b Beretta OU. Very light for walked up roaming the woods but he still loves it for use in the hide too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
