So there's a Benelli 828u 20ga and Beretta 686 .28ga Silver Pigeon I (over unders ) sitting there at the LGS right next to each other. Besides the 1K difference in price I'm kinda more interested the effectiveness of a 28ga.
I've been doing some research and not really finding decent data on spread rate/range of the 28ga vs 20ga shell. I've heard there's not any significant difference.
Also as far as the difference in guns the Beretta seems like a junior model to the Benelli.
Funny thing is the store has zero 20ga but tons of 28ga shells. The old guy that works there says there's always a plentiful supply of 28ga. That could be decisive if there is not a significant difference in performance.
Course the eyes aren't as good as they used to be so a bigger spread rate might be important. However each comes with 5 chokes.
Does anyone have both or shot both that can give any input? I've had 12, 20 and .410 but not a 28ga.
Benelli 20 ga
