my 28 gauge repro with 28" barrels is choked M/F...measured .016/.035...mod/super-duper full according to people smarter than me! I am probably going to have Jim Eyster open it to something in the .010/.020 range...I have been advised by many more wise than I am to stay a bit tighter with a 28 gauge...I have an Uggie 28 gauge that I had opened up to SKT1/SKT2 after getting it...have killed lots of sharpies and huns, and some ruff's with it...I will say I do cripple lots of birds...may shift to a 15/16 oz load of 7.5's instead of the normal 3/4 oz of 8's that I usually hunt with. I have a red label 28 gauge as well...haven't shot or hunted it much, but have done well with it...probably using IC/Mod tubes when I have hunted it. If I were going to describe what I am looking for with the repro, it would be LM/LF, basically...knowing I can have it opened further if need be. It will probably be used mainly for prairie birds in Sept/early Oct, pre-pheasant season...maybe a pheasant hunt or two? Great forum, much fun!!!!
