Who has done it and what were your thoughts? Trying it out tomorrow.

I need all the help I can get. I use a 12, and after this weekend I need to use a 10.

Never done it, but unless the wind is really blowing, you should be good.

I wish I had one. Ultimate dove gauge.

I've used a .410 and it wasn't THAT bad. You're conscious of it and you shoot better.

16 is the perfect dove round imo.

My old boss shoots a Benelli 28. Loves it. Low recoil when you are on a hot field.

Not too bad. The gauge has increased in popularity. Academy always has ammo.

Used my uncle's Benelli Legacy 28 on a dove hunt and a quail hunt. Definitely makes you more aware of how you are shooting though. For high volume wingshooting, there is nothing like the 28 because of gun weight and lack of recoil.

Always better to have and not need than to need and not have. I have a stack of 16 gauge at the house for this exact reason...

I keep wanting one of these but it seems redundant right now. Maybe one day just for the heck if it.

Should have contacted me before you acquired the gun -- I'd have made you the proud owner of a 28 gauge O/under Browning (NIB).

You'd be looking good with this gun.

Well worth the money if you dove, quail, or pheasant hunt often.

I have a .28 Browning BPS.

Killed dove, rabbits, squirrel and crows with. There was a time when I wanted to get rid of it because ammo was hard to find. Its becoming much easier to aauire now.
