Steve;
The 28ga. has been around for over a century and it has been my go to bird gun for close to 40yrs. My VHE tips the scales at 5lb8oz. and is a joy to carry all day. If you ever acquire one you'll find that the standard 3/4oz load kills far better than you would believe it would. For my money the perfect bird gun for quail, woodcock and grouse.

Several guys at my club shoot 28s at skeet. All reload. They do fine with them.

When it comes to small SxSs I'm going to shoot my dad's 20. Very light, 26 inch tubes. American Arms Company:



I'd like a 28 though, but this little 20 is sweet as she can be and my dad shot it for his entire life. So I warm to it and it locks up like new and shoots fine..
