I routinely use the 28" barrel set on my 28ga gun for pointed quail, though they are choked Mod and Full. To compensate I use the Polywad spreader shells, and all is well out to perhaps 30 yards.

That's good to hear Jeff, I just got in a flat of the polywad spreaders. I'm hoping they pattern well and I won't need to open up the chokes. From everything I've read they work well, and your response helps to confirm that. Weather permitting I will put them on paper this weekend and be able to share the results.

Hope it works well for you. My 26" barrel set is choked more loosely, but combined with the strap on pad I use to get LOP out to about 15" they feel very whippy. If you think you need a bit more range choice than the spreaders give you, use a spreader in the left barrel and a regular shell in the right. You'll pull the triggers in a reverse order but end up with patterns something like skeet from the left and mod from the right. Good luck!

Steve, I had my gunsmith open mine. He is very conservative, so he went .15/.15.
I shot it, and took it back and said "More." So he went Three and a half thousandths. MUCH better for this 73-year old stumblebum. Now the beautiful thing shoots for me.
And, yes, it's funny that my old VH 12 Ga. 32" barreled gun is choked full & "Oh my God full," & I like it, but for my 28 gauge, I want very open chokes. Why? I can't answer that; all I can tell you is that is where it shoots for ME. (The next guy may not like it at all, but I don't care.)

Guys - I just got my 28" 28 Ga M/F Repro barrel back from Briley. I had both barrels opened to .003. I love it and shot a very nice round of skeet with it. Billy
