Benelli o/u in 20&28

[Hissatsu]

Shot one for the first time yesterday. Only the 20 gauge barrels. It was sure light and fast, fit me very well. We had great time on the sporting range. Even managed to hit some. They do not have the best rep online but this one sure looked good and was a pleasure to shoot. Anyone here have one? AJ

they are troublesome everything you read is true for that kind of money much better guns out on the market
if you buy one then want out you will take a huge loss

I was not aware a 28g was available.
Was this gun a special order?
Can’t see any besides 12 for sale in Canada

It is a special set bought in US.

Must not be many around, would like to hear from those that have them. I really enjoyed shooting the light 20.

Hey AJ, If the gun fits you well and it performs well then Id take a serious look at online reviews. Like Struff said, if theyre troublesome then your gonna take a bath a bailout time. I shoot clays at big clubs frequently and Binellis are not real popular so take that with a grain of salt. Fair, Ceasar Geurinni and Beretta all make nice combos in your gauge. Lots of times used sets can be picked up for a fair dollar.

I had an early 828 in 12 g and agreed it came up and pointed like a dream. Used it for my early season ducks for a year or so then one day the forearm split in two pieces . Was not even using heavy loads just 3.5 dram 5 .I sent it to an English stock maker who did a great job repairing it but told me it was a poor design and he said it could do it again. Something to do with the set screws in the forearm itself. Sold it on EE for quite a bit less than I paid but the gent who bought it was fully aware of the repair. Just as a side note I had 3 Italian o/u guns all down during that time. Parts were a pain and they were not Turkish.

As nice as it is I’ll not be getting one. .
