A 20 gauge can be a serious hunting shotgun for all around, especially with a 3" chamber. I have taken a 20 gauge down in the canyons for turkey and come up with a 21 pounder, using 3" Super XX #4 shot. My brother was on a kick with pheasants and a 20 gauge for a few years. We both chose the 20 gauge at that time because we wanted something lighter than a 12 gauge.

The .410 cannot be considered an all around hunting gun, but it is definitely fun, and can work for rabbits and squirrels, plus pest control.

I think you can actually buy 20 gauge shells cheaper than .410 shells in most places.

Saying all that, the next Ruger 28 gauge I saw would not spend another night on the dealer's rack if money were no object. I would find a use for it.
