Yes, it's awesome. I've tried all of the Benelli's. I love the ultra . We would shoot skeet with one hand, it's so light and minimal recoil.Anyone tried that Benelli Ultra Light in 28 ga? That one looks interesting too. Also curious about how the Browning Model 12 in 28 gauge is doing for anyone using one?
Quigley-Greetings. I grew up shooting a 28 gauge single shot and have always had a soft spot for that oddball shell. I'm considering getting an inexpensive 28 gauge for doves and grouse. I have handled the Stevens 555E and like the way it fits and feels. I really like how the 555s are scaled to each gauge, not just a 12ga frame with smaller barrels. I have read some complaints on the 55s trigger being unreasonably heavy and wonder if that was improved in the E model at all. The CZ Drake is another contender in the same price point arena. It just isn't as aesthetically pleasing as the 555 in my eyes. Looking for input from anyone who has had experience with either of these guns in a 28 gauge. Thanks in advance. -Quigley

One of the nicest 28's in an O/U in my opinion. I have been searching for Ruger for years- just so hard to find one. Beauty !!!!I love the 28ga... My Ruger Red Lable is dynamiteView attachment 436862.
Thanks, yes... they are great O/U hope you find one down the road you would enjoy it for sure. CheersOne of the nicest 28's in an O/U in my opinion. I have been searching for Ruger for years- just so hard to find one. Beauty !!!!
I have a buddy who SLAYS in the dove fields with his 28ga O/U. Unreal.
I have a 20ga CZ Redhead Deluxe that is a GREAT O/U. Under $1k, and is smooth and looks great. A bit heavy, even heavier than my Win 101 Select. But balanced amd swings nice.
Got that right on reloading. I use PW press. Once you get pass the sticker shock, you in.I generally load 1oz loads.I've got a Beretta 686. This one is the 28 ga on the 20 gauge frame. Light but not so light it's difficult to shoot. I find scaled frame 28 and .410's hard to shoot. Probably because I shoot a lot of sporting clays with a dedicated 12 ga 686 sporting clays gun that is heavy and has 32" barrels.
I love 28 gauge and have shot doves, partridge, grouse, pheasants, ducks and geese with mine. If you are going to shoot a lot then you need to reload as it is much cheaper and you can work up great hunting loads.
Those are slick! I'd love to have one.I love the 28ga... My Ruger Red Lable is dynamiteView attachment 436862.
