need help

My 28ga O/U has screw in chokes ....so I can go as tight as I want ....

+1 on what Zippy and OneOunce asked .....
 
Any of the new shotguns will have interchangeable choke tubes no matter what ga. you pick.I don't know if you have priced shells,but 20ga.shells cost about 1/2 of what 28 ga.shells do,and there is very little difference in the weight and feel of the guns.That being said,I have friends who love their 28's,but they are not for me.
 
I reload - so 28ga is perfect from my perspective .....

but Charles is right / 28ga shells are expensive if you have to buy retail. But if you're not shooting clays with it / the cost of shells might not be a big deal in the short run at least.
 
Hold on…
Don't be talking about reloading 28-ga shells, and how economical it really can be!
We need ntman and the other 28-ga newbies to buy brand new ammo. Not just buy the expensive ammo, but get a life time supply of the stuff, and then some more just in case they live longer than anticipated. And, it would be nice to have some extra NOS 28's to pass on after they've gone.
We want them to buy so much 28-ga ammo that they'll upset the market. The manufacturers will think they're missing an opportunity, and make way more extra ammo than is really needed to meet the spike in demand. Then, those of us who've been reloading 28-ga for several guns for many years, will have a golden opportunity to clean out the surplus 28's at bargain basement prices. Works for me.
…what a day for a daydream. :rolleyes:
 
I apologize Zippy ...I was clearly short of caffeine yesterday afternoon ...

but I hear my Espresso machine calling me ...so I'll be ok ...:D
 
No lectures, and his vague question is hard to give specific responses towards - WAY too open-ended with a variety of possibilities ranging from mild to wild.

Perhaps you can give him an exact answer based on your experience, the rest of us needed some more data.....:rolleyes:
 
I was just interested in seeing some responses to questions. My shotguns are all of the Stevens 311 variety. I have 12 and 16 gauge. I certainly am not full of information. I look here for information.

My pop has a single shot 28 gauge. It's old, and it was just left to him. I have no idea the brand.

IMHO, a recommendation based upon insufficient info would be a disservice.

t4terrific,
It's a small world, perhaps you dad's 28-ga is exactly the type of gun the OP is looking for. Often those old single shots have fairly tight chokes.
 
Sorry computer crashed and I forgot about the post till just now.​
No problem, we've all been there and done that. We were fearful that we'd lost you.

My only experience with 28-ga is with tubed O/U Skeet guns -- I'm clueless about single shots. Have faith, some of the members probably know exactly what you're looking for.
 
I don't know much about single shot shotguns either ....but the only H&R's I've seen in 28ga had a Modified fixed choke ...no screw in choke system ...to keep the cost down.

I see a few of them around / but not many ....
