I have a Hatfield 28 gauge SAS looks exactly like your Mossberg you are saying they're made at the same factory too and your Benelli legacy is very beautiful I just got this Hatfield I can't wait to go shoot it

28 gauge is one of the 4 gauges of american skeet. It definetly still exists. I would wager there are more 28ga shells fired in one NSSA competition by target shooters than by all US hunting activities combined.

From what I’ve seen 28 gauge guns made now days are marketed towards clay shooting. Also add that from what I’ve seen 28g basic #6 game loads are atleast 4 more a box (usually more). Every other cartridge including 16 gauge do not have this problem

Just got my first 28. I'm excited to try it out in the squirrel woods here soon!

%100 percent spot on about the Mossberg SA-28. I have about 5K flawless rounds through mine on skeet targets. The aftermarket trigger spring from M Carbo really lightened the the trigger pull which was the only negative I could say about the gun. Subscribed and enjoying your videos.

I usually don’t comment when I see something that I don’t agree with. But, hopefully you’ve read up more on shot string and ballistics.28ga is a nice gauge esp loaded with TSS. Your 28ga can not out perform the capabilities of a 12ga. Just can’t. I could drop down to a 3/4oz load in 12ga and shoot 1500fps. How’s 3/4oz @ 1350fps going to put more pellets on target faster? You’re correct, higher velocity shells do shorten a shot string - of any shotgun/gauge. One last thing, the “big red squirrels” have a name - fox squirrel.

Thanks for straightening me out

Just came across your video on the 28 ….. Always wanted one … A few years ago Weatherby imported from Turkey the SA-08 model … Built on a 28 gauge receiver . Unlike the 20 gauge built on a 12gauge receiver . That was another reason that I wanted one . If I remember correctly I paid under 500 …. Looks very similar to yours … Fantastic buy , fun to shoot … ammo is reasonable over the last few years … Hopefully they’ll continue to expand the ammunition . Personally I would like to see a tactical shotgun in 28 gauge . Along with the correct type of ammunition . Sometime in the last ten or so years . There was a firearms manufacturer submitted a 28 gauge pistol . But the ATF put a stop to the application process to manufacture and sell to the civilian market . I unfortunately cannot afford to spend 2 grand on a Browning or Benelli . But I do own a very well made Turkish 28 gauge … Along with many other well made Turkish firearms …

As long as I can use lead shot, I don't need anything other than my 28 gauge Yildiz SPZ ME or Ylidiz Legacy HP. I shoot sporting clays courses having targets nothing like I see when hunting in real world in terms of distance, but the 28 can still break them. I haven't shot a sporting course yet where the ballistics of my gun were a handicap. It turns quail and chukar into a mid-air pillow fight, too.

Hello from the uk. I mostly use a 28 bore for shooting here. Miroku over & under with mod and full chokes. Absolutely deadly with 1oz 5's.

To put into perspective how much smaller a .410 is. There’s a 10, 12, 16, 20, 28, and a 65 gauge which is the 410. There is a pretty big gap in between the .410 and the 28.

@Travis Thacker I can agree that I would like to buy American made products, my dilemma with a 28 gauge semi auto was as follows: Mossberg SA 28, American manufacturer with imported Turkish product ~$500 Benelli Legacy, Italian great quality ~$2000 Tri-Star Viper G2, American company, imported from the same factory as the Mossberg ~$650 Remington 1100 28, American company, American made, gun did not fit me well ~$1000 These were the only options at the time that I purchased my 28 gauge. Benelli was a fantastic looking gun but $2000 was out of my price range, Remington 1100 had a longer barrel than I wanted, the gun didn't shoulder me well, and it was double the price. Mossberg and Tri-Star firearms were basically identical and I could get the Mossberg cheaper with a more known company. As a patriot I can understand buy American products, but as a consumer I need to make descent financial decisions. In the end I got the best deal on a very fine shotgun.

I bought one of the cheap 28 gauge guns from Walmart. I bought it for doves.

It is the 6.5 Creedmoor of the shotgun world.........

Great video, and I share the love of the 28. Choice of gauge seems to be very subjective, but I look at it in a pragmatic way. Set aside people’s love or passion for a particular gauge, and what remains? Simply put, going from one gauge to another is a compromise…. Larger gauges (though they weigh more and tend to have more recoil), hold more shot of a given size. More shot… denser pattern at range. Larger shot size… carries further than smaller shot size. No voodoo or witchcraft involved, just simple logic.

If you have a break open double barrel or single shot 20 gauge you could put a 20 to 28 gauge adapter in it and shoot 28 with it but that’s the only way. I did shoot a 24 gauge shell out of a double barrel 20 once just for the hell of it, it warped the bottom of the hull like it almost blew out the side of the brass and 24 is much closer to 20 than the 28 is. I’ll never do it again and don’t suggest it.

Just buy a single shot,......it's costing you .75 cents a shot if you buy them but if you reload it costs pennies. Basically you avoid .410 and 28 gauge because they charge you a premium for those shell's. Why would you pay a 3rd world country the same price that you would pay an American country. We have always bought affordable guns from Italy and Spain in the past and they were known countries. A 12 or 20 gauge will take any game you want affordably. Because at any store you will find 12 gauge or 20 gauge. Anything other than this is a fairy tale. I bought a Turkish gun. It was imported by Charles Daly . I paid $200.00 for it,... it was Semi-auto,.......and it shot fine,....I'm 5'11 and the gun would have been a better fit for big-foot at 12 foot tall. It was a hand full,... but a great gun,......I always thought a semi-auto would be great but their more complicated to operate and load and clear malfunctions. A pump or a single shot is the way to go in 12 ga or 20 ga. Pattern a gun,......so you know where to aim,... at different ranges,......Kentucky windage out to 50 yards or go home empty handed.
