the 28ga. is it good enough?

[yar62]

I've read different stories about the 28ga. gun. Some say only for claybirds, and others say makes for a great little grouse gun. What do you say? Has any of you advid shotgunners had some good shooting experience's with the 28? Your replys are appreciated. Thanks yar62 <><

I havent had my 28ga. very long but I really like it. It takes squirrels and grouse with know problems I have used both the Remington #6 3/4oz. and the Winchester #6 1oz. loads with good results. I have the pardner with modified choke.

Thanks for your reply gould, its great getting information from others that have the experience with these firearms. I'm glad that NEF makes this pardner in 28ga. Have you actually patterned your 28? I like the remington ammo, use it in all my firearms.

The 28 ga is an excellent grouse or woodcock gun and not too bad of a close range pheasant gun either.  The older ammo was 3/4 oz, but the newer stuff can be had with the same shot weight as a 20ga.

I was going to try to give you a report on it's effectiveness on squirrels but today is the last day of early muzzle loader season here.

Thank you all for your replys! I sure do appreciate it. I think that anyone here that enjoys these H&R/ NEF guns has something good to say. Seems from what I've read so far that the 28ga. would be a good gun to have. I'll have give some mention of this to the treasurer of my house near Christmas! <><

I know what you mean. pre Christmas discussions with the treasurer at my house now include a computer print out and the guy's name at the gun shop to talk to. With the cost of these guns you cant really go wrong. for your stated uses it will work great.
