I have had 4 over the last 15 yrs. A Fautsi O/U, and a CZ Mini Bobwhite SxS which I gave to my son. The Fautsi was built on a 20 ga. frame with fixed chokes, but did come with a set of .410 bbls. and forend both 26" bbls, the CZ SxS has choke tubes and 26" bbls. I like longer barrels so have a Ruger Red Label 28 with a set of Briley 410 tubes this shotgun has 28" barrels, this replaced the Fautsi. Also have a Huglu SxS with 30" barrels choked IC & F, this replaced the CZ with 26" bbbls.

All 4 of these shotguns have had several thousand rounds through them in the 28 ga. without any problems. They get used year around for clay birds, bunny hunting and upland bird hunting. Some scoff at the CZ SxS, but between my son and I have a DeHaan SO in 12, CZs in both 20 and 28 and The Huglu Model 201A which was a special order SxS. None of these shotguns have caused either of us any problems and they get used. Will admitt my son has backslide some on ducks and not useing the the DeHaan as much, now shooting Browning BPS instead.
