Title: 3" 28 Gauge Single Shot
Post by: Spring Creek Calls on July 24, 2025, 11:41:14 AM
I have my 3" Charles Daly 101 28 gauge ready for a TSS sight in when the weather cools. Added a Barska 2 slot picatinny that attaches to the barrel with a Bushnell red dot sitting on top. Sighted in with a 2-3/4" 1 ounce load of Federal lead. The recoil pad helps with both LOP and recoil. Weighs in just over 5 lbs with the pad and red dot. Comes with sling mounts and 1 Mobil choke.(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20250724/c7a5ef6b5ad32867fbfba0a04365a191.jpg)

Factory full choke?

Yes, but I'll probably shoot the Indian Creek that's in my SA-28 also. It'll be interesting to see how they do. Both guns have Mobil threads.

I have shot my H&R 28 ga  single shot a few times lately and it kicks just as much as a 20 gauge in my opinion.

I have a CD 101 in both 20 and 28 gauges and the 28 has less recoil, although not a big reduction. If the 28 can come close or reproduce the 20 gauge patterns I'll be pleased.
