My first 28 was a VHE Straight Grip with a Checkered Butt ,Splinter Forend and Honed barrels ,it was really lite !!!!!!!!!! It was a wand but it wasn't magic in my hands ! When I bought it ,I didn't know the barrels had been cleaned up ,it still had decent wall thickness I suppose ,but I couldn't hit anything that was moving at any rate of speed because I couldn't keep up with the game ! Going straight away or rising was okay but East and West ,they were safe ! I sold it to a Buddy who loved the gun and said ,he didn't care about the honing as it would never be shot again !
!!!!!!! I have never owned a Repro 28 but have been tempted a few times ,at the price of them ,I think about a nice original 20 Gauge and there we go again
, most of the Guys really seem to like them though !
