Pykie Posted October 24, 2016 Report Share Posted October 24, 2016 Anyone used or own a Benelli 28 gauge auto? Pros/ Cons? I use an Armsan 28 gauge auto which can at times be a little cartridge fussy and wondered what benefit a more expensive gun would bring, if any Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
B25Modelman Posted October 24, 2016 Report Share Posted October 24, 2016 Have you actually seem/found one in the UK. Their catalogue lists 20 but I have not seen one advertised/in stock. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pykie Posted October 24, 2016 Author Report Share Posted October 24, 2016 Yes seen them for sale a few times in different gun shops and the UK shooting magazines have reviewed them in the past Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miroku_fan Posted October 24, 2016 Report Share Posted October 24, 2016 (edited) Can be fussy regarding cartridges and prefers 24g loads. I used Fiocchi 24g cartridges which worked fine. The Benelli 28 gauge is well built and light enough to carry all day. Recoil is absolutely not an issue. Only downside other than fussy about certain cartridges was the heavy trigger pull.

Do you still have one? I tend to use 24gm loads anyway. How much did you pay for yours if you don't mind me asking. I see they are around £1000-£1500 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
