Thats a beaut of a 28 gauge ,Mac.Have read many good reports about them.
 
After years of using a 20 gauge, I took out my 28 for the first time yesterday and bagged a nice ruffed grouse. I absolutely love this old Savage 220. So light, yet no recoil and the 28 is basically ideal for these birds.
 
I recently lucked into a full set of Remington 1100 Sporting guns in 20/28/410... The 28 arrived on Friday... We were up to the cottage for Thanksgiving weekend and this sweet little gun took a mixed bag of sharptail, pheasant and ruffies this morning... The Win AA loads of #7 1/2 swatted with authority... To be honest, I didn't notice a difference from my 20 gauge shooting. One very upsetting thing was the gun was damaged in shipping, with a 1/2" X 3/4" chip broken off the forearm where it meets the receiver, rather than forfeit the gun for a refund, I am having it fixed... Gotta roll with these punches.
 
I have used a CZ over under in 28 gauge for years .It is awesome to carry and I have shot plenty of pheasants without a single malfunction.I always used a 20 gauge until a friend let me borrow his on Peelie Island one year. I had to have one after that.
 
I have an Old Champion 28 Ga it says it is made in Montreal.The fore end is taped to the barrel,there is nails holding the stock from falling apart.Its a beater that I take on my four wheeler for bird.All kinds of ammo round here.
 
I talked to a stock specialist today... He says I'll have my chipped forearm back in a week, good as new... Let the grouse and woodcock and teal slaying begin!
