Thread: 28 Gauge

hi the twenty eight will do the job as long as you can i shoot all gauges and i love the 28 for its lite weight and speed you can get her into action its more suited to upland than a duck gun but it will do ,if its going to be your main shooting stick i think you should go with the 20 though as most guns here in nz the 28,s are just 20g actions with 28g barrels and so they weigh the same and in some cases are heaveyer then the 20g so the handling is no different ,one of my 20,s weights 2.5kg !if you are going to spend some good coin you can get a nice rizzini or fair that are built on true 28g frames then you have a very nice shottie indeed .there is no difference in hitting power between the two just the 28 has less pellets ie thinner patterens ;the 20 has a long shot string though ,i have found on quial that if i use cylinder choke on the 20 i use quater on the 28 just to tighten the patteren a little .if you do go 28 and after ducks i have found the wincester 1 oz loads work good and dont go skybusting ,if your going to be in the naki you are wellcome to try out a couple of 20s and 28s cheers
