Benelli 28 gauge concerns…

TCman · November 7, 2023, 09:44 PM

I am looking at a benelli 28 gauge, but have a few concerns I could use some advice with.

This gun will be used for waterfowl and turkey hunting so i believe black or camo finish would be best. I also don't mind the BEST finish for protection. I also prefer a raised rib so that excluded the ultra light for now.

The two guns I am torn between is the super black eagle and ethos cordoba best. They both have carbon fiber ribs, and have hear of more than one instance of the rib attachment breaking.

My second concern is it shooting high. For a waterfowl gun I don't mind it as I shoot a sbe3 and have no issues with it. But for an aimed shot at a turkey, shooting hight will be a deal breaker.

Any further insight inth the carbon ribs or poa/poi with the benelli 28 gauges?

28 for those quarries would typically necessitate something like tungsten for best results; they should be shooting flat, but - as with any gun or ammo, your combo will determine that.

I was planning on tungsten for turkeys and geese. Bismuth or tungsten for ducks.
