I carry this Ithaca model 72 in 22lr quite a bit rabbit hunting.



I'm sure the 28 does great rabbit hunting. Just haven't heard anyone's opinions on why they choose it over a 410 or a 20.

Damn

My 12ga. Featherlight Magnum Model from 1981 is fast growing in my heart each time I handle it, it doesn't surpass the classic lines and eye appeal of my 1953 Field Grade Featherlight though.

The 28 gauge is a great shotgun for upland use.Patterns way better than a .410 and brings down game in the uplands as good as a 20 gauge.Have been using 28 gauges in the field for over forty years.

The extra cost for good 20 gauge shells is not much different than good 28 gauge shells.We are not talking about the cheap promo shells,but the good quality ones

Its like the Colonsl says,just how many shells does the usual upland hunter shoot in the field each year any way.Unless you shoot a lot of doves or something like that a box or two at best.The difference in cost is nothing when one compares it to the cost of everything else.Gas,gun,licences ,clothing etc.
