20 vs 28 gauge

[mdwest]

@rookhawk both Benelli & Beretta make high quality 28 ga semi autos for low $2000 range, they weigh 5 1/2 & 6 1/2 lbs respectively. !

Beretta also makes the 686 Silver Pigeon in 28ga.. it comes in at 6.3 lbs.. it'll set you back about $2700..

That said, I believe its built on the same frame as the 686 20ga.. but.. due to the thinner barrels is slightly lighter than the 20..

The 686 and 687 in 28 are probably the most common O/U's I see among the clays shooters that compete in 28ga events..

@mdwest - You are right and forgot about Beretta 686/687 in 28ga - bought one (687) for my Son years ago - didn’t know you could still get one for under $3000.
