PC you have some nice guns there.. The CZs are nice well made guns for the most part. A friend has a Huglu in 20 ga and shoots it well. It was not all that cheap though and it seems to be a nice shotgun. The Ruger Red Label is kind of hard to finsd in 28 with the longer bbls. In 12 ga they punish you but in 20 and 28 are pretty tame. Got a fellow i work with a bit a nice 20 ga Red Label and he really likes it. But he bought it for his wife..and she won't let him play with it...less'n she's around. The gal can shoot it too. The DeHaan is a really nice gun.. Weren't some of them made in Turkey?? Gettin so I can't remember squat. I've never really messed with the Fausti guns. But have heard both good and some bad about them..but they were rumors more than fact. Otherwise..isn't the 28 a blast to shoot?? But then so is the 410!

On the other hand. All of my 28s have been Browning guns and all steel frame guns. I carried an early Super Light all steel gun to Argentina and shot doves and ducks with it on a 10 day trip, about 6,500 rounds, no problems at all. I bought that fixed choke gun in Tulsa for $800, sold it for $900, to buy a Citori 28ga w chokes. Just look around and be patient a nice 28 O/U can be had at or just under 1K.
The 28 I have right now is a 525 Citori with 30 inch tubes and chokes. It was a bit pricey as a set, but, the Browning guns hold their resale value if you buy a nice used gun. Plus you do not take the instant new/used hit. You go to Argentina or South Africa bird shooting and you see Browning Citori after Browning Citori, because they are built like a tank. You shoot a lifetime of shells on a single trip and the Citori just eats what you feed it and asks for more. In all of my trips across the ponds only one part have I ever seen break on a Citori, a friend had an ejector hammer spring break, the outfitter had the spring replaced in 2 hours and that was in Argentina out in the brush, in the middle of no where. As has been said, the 28s reload like falling off a log. Which is a real plus as the 28s are costly since you rarely ever see 28s as an "on sale" item. Ed
