Default 28 gauge

For those of you that own 28’s built on both the 0 and 00 frames , is there a noticeable difference in the feel if they have relatively the same dimensions ?

There is a very noticeable difference in the two in my opinion. I have owned both.

For sure. The 0 frame feels pretty beefy with those little 28g tubes.

The 0 frame 28 carries much like a light 20. The 00 frame is light and faster handling, and very lithe.

I like both frame size 28s. The 0 frame is a very enjoyable gun to carry and shoot. But the difference is noticeable no doubt.

Well I’ve got one on the 0 frame headed my way . Suspect it’ll be awhile before I can add a second on a 00 frame

Default 0 frame 28 gauge

Craig, I guess I’m swimming up stream here but I have carried and shot both the O and OO frame twenty-eights and for me personally I prefer the O frame.
This probably has to do with my size, weight, and arm length. I’m 6’4” and prefer a 15” LOP. The OO frame seems a littke “whippy” to me. Also I have seen both frame guns weigh approximately the same depending on barrel length, etc.
Just enjoy your new purchase and mentally forget about frame sizes when out in the woods or fields. 😊
