I finally got finished up building my new 28 Guage ATI Scout.  It was hard to find any 28 Gauge Autoloader or Pump anywhere in stock.  I tried over 100 websites and actual gun stores trying to find one.  I wanted to start with something relatively inexpensive, knowing I would put several hundred additional dollars into it, getting it how I wanted it.

It started life with nice wood stock and forearm, which I then covered in the Mossy Oak camo vinyl skins.  I did the barrel and receiver in the skins also.  I used skins with more green in them because my hunting area in North Central Florida is always greened up when season opens.  It did not come drilled and tapped, so I bought a vent rib pictanny mount.  I then mounted a CVLife reflex 4 reticle dual color sight to it.

I will be shooting Apex 28 Guage #9.5 13/8 ounce Tss through it.  I bought a mobile thread .525 IC choke.  A few photos for your gun porn enjoyment.

Last photo is with the 20 gauge Tristar pump I built for my significant other.

Nice setup on the 28 ga. I have the same gun and plan to finish getting it setup .. I bought the Carlson Turkey choke 520 for mine ... after talking with Carlson ...

I talked with the folks at Indian Creek before I bought the choke as well. Also talked with the folks at Patternmaster but their choke is .515 which I thought might be too tight.  That .520 you bought if you think about it share pics of your 40 yard patterns so we can compare.  I will do the same with the .525 when I get it done.

That's an impressive build!

Last fall I bought my first 28 gauge and LOVE it!

Very nice. That choke shoots 8-1/2's thru 9-1/2's equally well out of my SA-28.
