I was reading Kevin's post and had a good chuckle. It reflected some my experiences. I found my 28 ga, 28", straight grip, SST, 1 1/4" x 2 1/4" x 14 1/4", 5lb 10oz, splinter forend gun at Jaqua's. It shot too high, has the too tight M/F chokes, swings like a broomstick, and kicks like a pissed off girlfriend with spiked high heels.
I bent the stock down to get it where I could hit reliably with it. I did hunt the 28ga on pen raised pheasant and chukar as well as some wild birds. I used #6 on chukar and #5 on wild pheasant. It'll swat a rooster hard at longer distances than most care to shoot. It's lighter at the muzzle than is ideal for me, but it will do its job if I do mine.
I bought the gun solely for the purpose of putting Galazan 410 barrels on it. I did get the barrels and had them fitted. It made a nice handling 410, that's a pleasure to shoot.
