Most of my group shoots 28s and razz me when I show up with a 16. Besides, to hunt quail with a 10 I'd want a gun bearer. Even this 2 frame is more than I want to carry in the brush.
The weight of the gun doesn't bother me as much as the weight of a box of the shells the EH 28" balances well , I'd have no issue using it from one of the quail deals you build . I've also got a Grade 0 top lever 10 2 barrel set on I believe a 2 frame , one of the barrels left the factory at 26" that one does very well on the skeet field so I'd not have an issue using it for a quail hunt as long as I was hunting from some sort of transportation .
