Does any still make one? The gf is takin her hunters safety course and will have liscense in time to hunt this year if she passes. I want the lightest recoil for her possible. So my question is does anyone still make a 28 gauge.
Sure. Several are made/avail. Browning BPS, CZ Bobwhite and Ringneck, NEF Pardner. Ruger Red Label. GunsAmerica/GunBroker usually has several avail. I took one of my best w/ 28 last yr

Doc, that is a fine looking double you got there :drool:
I bought a 870 express 28 gauge 3 years ago with full intentions of using it on turkeys. It is light as a feather and some of my hunts involve walking 5+ miles. I killed one bird with it last year at a lasered 29 yards. I am in the middle of testing loads right now. As of saturday the 1oz W-W #6 is the winner. At 35 yards which should be the practical limit with the set up it put 120 shot in a 10" circle. Still working on it. reflexl
I have a Franchi 48 AL in 28 gauge. As soon as I get my first batch of TSS loaded for my other guns I am going to get some more from Hal and load up some for the 28 gauge. I cant wait to try it.
