[QUOTE="Prairie Sasquatch, post: 2761128, member: 124243"] 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. I shoot .410 on game also but that’s another animal and requires extreme discipline with shot selection. There just isn’t enough pattern density to shoot game consistently past about 30 yards. Although I find a load of heavy shot 6 will kill even Canada geese with authority under 30 yards and snow geese a bit further if you can hold a pattern together. [/QUOTE]
