TexasDeerHunter Posted September 3, 2006 Report Share Posted September 3, 2006 Well, my new Beretta 28ga is officially a dove shootin machine. I went out twice and have left the field with a full bag both times. I was getting some grief by the other hunters about shooting at whitewings with a pop gun.......Let's just say that I left the field with alot more unfired shells than they did. The gun performed well and I don't now if I will need to pick up the 12ga again. Was shooting Mod and Imp Mod with 8shot and had no problem dropping those big whitewings.

Guest rds Posted September 3, 2006 Report Share Posted September 3, 2006 Re: My new shotgun Congrats on the good days. as far as the "pop gun", I say use what works and from what I read it works. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AJ Posted September 3, 2006 Report Share Posted September 3, 2006 Re: My new shotgun Congrats on the good shooting! Yep, the 28 will work just fine on doves. I know guys that use them for pheasants. Good choice on chokes. It gives a nice dense pattern that will just hammer the big doves when centered. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ruttinbuc Posted September 3, 2006 Report Share Posted September 3, 2006 Re: My new shotgun That is some good shooting! We don't have a dove season here in NJ. They certainly are a challange. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TexasDeerHunter Posted September 4, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 4, 2006 Re: My new shotgun I intend to try it out on some Kansas pheasant in Nov. I think I will use some #6 shot with a little more powder behind it. Might even choke to Full and Mod. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exturkinator Posted September 6, 2006 Report Share Posted September 6, 2006 Re: My new shotgun Very nice... Do you like the improved modified choke? Is it a Beretta or after-market? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaun_300 Posted September 7, 2006 Report Share Posted September 7, 2006 Re: My new shotgun Right on! I love the 28ga, one day I wanna get a Remington 1100 in a 28. Good luck with the new gun! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TexasDeerHunter Posted September 7, 2006 Author Report Share Posted September 7, 2006 Re: My new shotgun Shaun, I just sold a Rem 1100 sporting 28ga with Briley chokes. Sweet gun and pretty wood on it. My problem was that I got used to the Over/Under and I don't like leaving hulls out in the field. That little gun kicked the hulls out of sight and I never could find them all. Overall it was a great shooter. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
