[QUOTE="HSmithTX, post: 2710537, member: 121677"] You know, I have hope for your 28. As much as my SBE just plain sucked, my old hunting partner bought a 20ga 'for his wife' LOL that I liked quite a bit and if I remember right it was called a montefeltro? Going back to the late 90's could have been around 2000 timeframe. It was very light, a bit over 5 pounds with a 24-26" barrel, I don't remember exactly but it wasn't a short barrel. Just about perfectly proportioned for a 20. That gun was a shooter, and it ran well. The only dig I had on it was the lock time, not quite sun dial slow like the 12's but maybe stopwatch slow and the trigger pull out of the box was heavy enough you could have hung the loaded gun by the trigger and bounced it a bit before you got any excitement. It handled really well, recoil was 20ga, it carried beautifully and it shot where he was looking and also where I was looking. If it had the lock time and trigger of my Browning Gold 20 I certainly would have bought one. I really liked hunting with that gun, the pheasants didn't like it much though. We shot a good number of clay targets with it too, I saw and helped put a thousand or so through it. Hopefully your new 28 is as good. [/QUOTE]
