[QUOTE="quigley257, post: 2620265, member: 84442"] 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 Stevens 555E - [URL]https://savagearms.com/content?p=firearms&a=product_summary&s=22592[/URL] CZ Drake - [URL]https://cz-usa.com/product/cz-drake/[/URL] [/QUOTE]
