@@alessiobubbles5345 I'm always sorry to hear about other countries oppressing their citizens. We hear over and over again, about how a unarmed populace are routinely victimized by their own government. Genocide, unstoppable crime, violence, the inability to fight back, and overthrow a tyrannical regime. It's sad, scary, and a lesson we all must take to heart. As a American, I can't explain how lucky we are. So many take this for granted, and demand our disarming, so only the gov, and criminals have them. It's all about power, and control over us. When we forgo our rights, citizens become subjects. America must never fall for this bullshit. We are one of the last country's to recognize this God Givin right. The second ammendment protects all the rest, and keeps us from the genocidal tendencies that all corrupt government have when they are allowed to rule with impunity. People don't realize how much power they have. There are way more of us, then there are of them. Fight for your rights, and never give them an inch. Victims, we are not. This tyranny Must end, and they must be held accountable. Freedom is everything. Stay strong my brothers. Because no matter your country, religion, ethnicity, you are loved, and needed. Appreciated, And understood. I love all my fellow man, And woman. Stay the course, and mabe change will happen. Demand it. Live it. Who are they to control us?? They know they are wrong. Their evil does not go un noticed. And somday, we will all be free.

That’s true, but that’s true of any gauge. A 10ga has the same pattern as a .410. And the same velocity for the most part. The difference is just the quantity of Shot.

The patterns and velocities match going up and down gauges. Once you cut pellet count down, the "knock down" (killing) power goes down as you don't hit your target with as many pellets as the bigger gauges.

Bought my 10 year old son the Stevens 28 gauge over/under. He recently hunted pheasant with it. 2 shots 2 birds. Plus he's been using it for his sporting clays class and he's doing really good with it. Initially out of the box. The trigger pull was at 11 pbls. Had it taken down to 4 and had the stock cut down and fitted to him.

I’m a huge fan of 28 gauge. I shoot sporting clays and hunt upland game with 28 gauge, although with different guns better suited to each purpose. It does very well! Lighter guns that are quicker to mount with less recoil that reduce flinching produce more accurate shots. I hope the U.S. comeback continues to gain steam.

I used to shoot a lot of skeet and always loved shooting 28 gauge. I always preferred using sub gauge tubes or a barrel set in my 12 gauge gun to shoot 20, 28, or .410 though. It lets you keep consistency in gun weight and sighting plane between the different gauges. Until i got down to .410, i couldn’t tell the difference in scores between the gauges. .410 was a different game. Keep up the good work Hickok!

@johnwolfen4243 2 года назад

I love the 28 gauge for rabbit and squirrel hunting. It works very well on any game you would hunt up close lets say 35 yards and in. One of the best parts is you don't get all the pellets from it as you would from a 12 gauge. The game is easier to clean and fewer pellets to break a tooth on. This little Stevens would work if it where just a hunting gun. Field shotguns tend to get beat up after a few trips. The biggest thing is how it patterns. The less expensive over under or side by side is the barrels are not calibrated very well so one barrel may be way off on the point of aim/impact. Thanks much

That’s a nice little shotgun ! I once had a Savage Fox / Stevens Side by Side 20 gauge, double triggers with engraving of a fox and grouse on the color case hardened receiver that my father gave to me , and I small game hunted with it when I was younger ( I even hunted deer with that shotgun and would load double ought buck shot in the full choke cylinder and a rifled slug in the improved choke cylinder) …. It had fixed chokes of full and improved cylinders left and right respectively. Unfortunately it was stolen from my house . I’ve always wanted to replace it with something that I could afford and now you showed this video that has inspired me . BTW , that is an “ extractor “ which only extracts the spent ( or live ) cartridges. An “ejector” does like you said , ejects or throws the cartridges flying out of the breech .

@splashboudreau 2 года назад

A common practice with over and under is shooting bottom barrel first as it will reduce reset time or target acquisition because the barrel rise is less predominant then when shooting the top barrel . Also good idea to use a tighter chock pattern on second shot is correct because of longer distance when following up on same moving target.

@NC-xk1eg 10 месяцев назад

I took an interest in the 28 a few years ago, (after watching an episode of California Bird Hunters I believe). I ordered one, possibly the last one H&R made, & loved it. I saw the Stevens 555E & bought one. After a thousand or so rounds shooting trap it's great, I love it & it's made me much better behind a12 gauge.

@hickok45 2 года назад

I think it would be great for a short defensive shotgun. Maybe a Shockwave, for example. One of the problems, I suppose, with the 28 gauge is that there's not an array of ammo available in terms of buck shot, 00 buck, slugs, etc. It's primarily used for clay pigeons and bird hunting. Personally, I would definitely buy a 28 gauge shotgun in defensive configuration. I think there would be a market for it as long as more ammo variety became available.

Some of the less expensive models use their 20 gauge receiver with a smaller bore out so they are heavier. The specially designed 28 gauges such as my Browning are almost prohibitively expensive because the volume sales are so low, but the pattern on small bird loads are near perfect. Great for dove.

@DeanMk1 2 года назад

When I was a kid, the 28 gauge was the quintessential WOODCOCK gun. It has since gone on to be a star of the trap and skeet ranges. A lot of people use them for upland hunting and even duck and goose hunting, but traditionally....28 gauge = woodcock hunting.

I wanted an O/U for years, and finally picked one up 3 years ago. My only gripe with this Stevens is the price. Scheel’s shows $699. I paid the same for my Condor Competition with 30in ported barrels, adjustable comb and a set of chokes. Both are beautiful shotguns, but the Stoeger is a little more bang for your buck. Awesome review though! Once you shoot an O/U, you won’t want anything else!

@terrybeasley2898 Год назад

Love the 28gauge. I always shot the 12 gauge when dove hunting. Last year a lot of videos started popping up on the 28. I did a lot of research on it and had to buy one and try it out. I never considered myself an expert shot in the field but I am a very good shot in the field. All my hunting buddies thought i wasted my money on the gauge and laughed at me for buying it. Until that opening day, I can tell you I have never shot so good. The closest she'll to bird ratio I have ever shot 15 birds to 18 shells. I don't think I wil ever go back to a 12 gauge for dove hunting, and the people who state the 28 doesn't have the range of a 12 has never shot one. The first thing I noticed is the killing range on doves is the same. I say to anyone who does not believe me then just invite me to a dove hunt and I will be happy to prove it.

He’s a little out of his wheelhouse here. 28 gauge is a superb bird shooter and clay breaker. Most serious skeet shooters I’ve known shoot mainly 28 gauge out of their “tubed” 12 gauge skeet guns. Low recoil. Fantastic shot pattern. But a true 28 gauge shotgun, built on a 28 gauge frame, is simply a joy to hold, swing, and shoot.

I love the 28 gauge. I don't think it's a good first shotgun, the ammo is super expensive (reloading helps). You can't beat a 12 gauge, but the 28 gauge is a lot of fun. I have used my 28 for dove and quail hunting. I can't hit anything with a 12 or 28, so no difference there. Kidding, the 28 seems to be much closer to a 20 than a 410 as far as patterning. You can carry a box or two in your vest and not feel like you're dragging a plow around. The gun is typically lighter too.

@Scooter-dm3qo 2 года назад

Hickok I am a Skeet shooter and shot in the Registered Shoots. Which are small tournaments that are usually 4 Gun Events. This means that you shoot 100 rounds in each of 4 calibers. The calibers are 12, 20, 28, and 410. In addition there will also be a 100 round Doubles event where the targets are thrown as true pairs at stations 1 thru 7 and back. Generally the Doubles are 12 gauge events but any smaller caliber is perfectly legal. Generally the best shooters use a 28 gauge for the Doubles. Because for those shooting with sub caliber tubes the 28 has almost no recoil and it's believed that the 28 produces a longer shot string than any other caliber. Most of the AA and AAA shooters in Michigan shoot just 2 calibers, the 410 and the 28 gauge. Now for me, my practice caliber is the 410 and I use a 28 gauge Beretta with 410 barrels mounted. Learned at my first Registered shoot in 2021 that this 67 year old just didn't have the strength to swing around a 9.5 lbs. shotgun for 400 rounds, on the last round of the 410 event I only hit 8 out of 25 because I just couldn't move the barrel. Sold my 410 and 28 gauge tubes to a friend and purchased my 28/410 2 barrel set combo gun. It was the smartest gun purchase I have ever made, it's a pure joy to shoot and I've been improving at a steady pace. BTW the choice to practice with the 410 is because it's the least expensive caliber to reload, the recoil is nothing, and it requires high precision for each shot.

@mchenryjeremy Год назад

The 28 gauge is popular and common in upland game bird wing shooting (pheasants, quail, chucker, dove). Recent years, the 28/410 have started getting more popular in the waterfowl world due to Tungsten Super Shot. I have experience with TSS, and I stretched the range all the way out to 88 yards. I shot a mallard dead before it hit the water 88 yards away. Confirmed the distance via GPS. I don't ever shoot ducks that far away, it was basically a test to see how far the TSS can reach, but the ability to kill ducks with smaller gauges with TSS has made it more convenient to bring a lighter gun to the field. There are folks folding Canada's 40-50 yards away with 410s now. I'm currently looking for a cheap 28 O/U for the marsh as I'm now running TSS reloads.

As a kid in the late sixties our neighbor started me bird hunting. I didn't have a shotgun so Mr. Kline started me with a 28 sxs, putting one shell at a time. I am looking to buy one and hope they enjoy more popularity in the future.

Great video. I have buddies that are 28 gauge snobs lol. They are definitely effective on grouse and woodcock, even geese with the right loads. Hoping to see a new Italian import 1894 in 30-30 on the channel. Or maybe a browning bps in 10 gauge just for kicks! Have a great day.

Love my 2 28 Gauges. Winchester model 12 skeet, and a Stoeger sxs in 28 gauge.

I don't like using more ammo sources when it's unnecessary. The birds I hunt mostly are grouse and ptarmigan in heavy brush and thick timber where things move fast. I like using 20s and .410s on them mostly. In the last few years though as they've become more popular, I've been gaining interest in 28s. A friend has one and loves it. Practical choices for me are the Stevens 555 and the Tristar Bristol SxS.

Have sweet little 28 ga O/U by Yildiz, also a Turkish gun maker. Would not be surprised if they made the Stevens for Savage. Beautiful stock and stamp engraving on the receiver, plus full set of chokes.

@samrice1015 2 года назад

my dad goes pheasant hunting every year with his buddies. he swears by the 16 gauge and has had multiple of them. i think he likes that he can use it for turkey too if he really wanted. but he has pondered a 28 gauge on multiple occasions. to have a dedicated pheasant gun or small bird gun. here in south dakota people use them a lot!

I’ve knocked down many ducks, squirrel, and rabbits down in South Louisiana and Texas with an Ithaca Model 37 16 gauge that my grandfather gifted me. It’s my favorite shotgun hands down.

I never knew about 28 gauge until this video :)

@74scs74 Год назад

I read a book written by Bob Brister, he said the 28 ga is a magical gun and shoots better then it should.the shot string is very short. A 12 ga has a 6 foot shot string. So shooting a moving target, the 28 ga put more shot on the bird the a 12 gauge. Read the section about shot strings. The 28 gauge is superior in many ways over the bigger shot guns

@wowbagger3505 2 года назад

I’ve been thinking about trying a 28 gauge myself. The 28 gauge ammo is becoming more available in recent years controlling for the big fluctuations for every thing. You should try 10mm Tanfoglio Witness with 6 inch barrel, BTW.

@oldschooldude8370 2 года назад

Excellent for dove/quail/grouse with a modified. Just hard to find affordable shells.

@7.3powerstroke9 2 года назад

I’ve got a CZ- USA bob white g2 28 gauge it’s a great shotgun. Also the quality of the Stevens 555 has gone way down in the past 5 years I bought a 20 gauge like 7 years ago it’s great quality but I bought a 12 gauge two years ago and the quality was just not there. So I found cz USA and they make good quality firearms for a reasonable price.
