Who is Using a 28 Gauge, This 2025-26 Hunting Season

[28 gauge 2]

Ah, good stuff.Black ducks are the smartest of ducks to fool.Have never been able to bag a gadwall and only one widgeon.

Have seen videos on You Tube, of people doing amazing things with the 3 inch SBE 3 28 gauge guns on ducks, with steel shot.

Just had a look at the 28 gauge Taylor gun ,cat.Nice looking gun,5.5 pounds and 3 inch chamber to.In case you want to use 3 inch shells.

If I bought it I would be sticking with my BPI load of H110 and 7/8 oz of shot in an HV28 wad and a 2 3/4" Fiocchi or Multi Hull

Out the last couple of evenings before dark ,with the 28 gauge AYA Model 3A,but no luck.Never saw a thing.

Any one else having any luck of late, using their 28 gauge afield?

It’s open here for grouse until mid January, so if we get an opportunity we will go try again. My son had good luck with his SA 28 this year. Really was hoping to use it on waterfowl, but unfortunately we were not setup this year to make it happen where we had permission.

Thank you Patrick for posting this. Strangely I own every gauge of the M37, except the 16.
That's life I guess....
Cheers

The partridge(ruffed grouse) season is open here until the end of December.Hope to get out for another hunt or two before then.

Hopefully you will, be able with your son, to get out on a 28 gauge waterfowl hunt next year.What 28 gauge guns are you using?

Just have the 1 28 so far. It is a mossberg SA 28. It fits him very well and he is getting pretty good at handling it.

So only one 28 gauge.You must have a lot of will power ,to be able to stay with only oneNo doubt that will not last long.Do you have another 28 gauge in mind, that you might like to obtain?

I’m not too sure yet. I’m pondering a nice slim side by side at some point, but that is likely a ways away.

Yes the 28 gauge SXS guns are very nice firearms.I have two 28 gauge SXS and two O/U guns.I prefer the SXS to the O/U guns,but that is just me.

Boy are we asking for it, from the 28 gauge O/U guys. LOL

Who knows, I may just go back to a CZ Mini Bowhite 28 instead of the 20 gauge Gallyon I was looking at!

If it’s the one I think it is, go with the Gallyon. Good stock dimension, nice and light. Been considering that one myself but it lacks hammers ( otherwise it would have been in my safe a long time ago.)

My rule of thumb is buy the expensive gun first.

Then you don’t have to save as much for the second one.

You know that makes perfect sense.
