My Dad was in an accident and unable to shoot his Rem 1100 12 gauge without pain. I happened on a Rem 1100 28 ga and bought it because I always wanted one. After I got it home I realized what it could do for my Dad. I took him out to shoot it and no pain. I gave it to him that Christmas and he has enjoyed that gun for the past 5 years. I guess I am saying you have a great gun. If you see another let me know

We use Fedral Premium #6s for all upland birds. Turkeys, doves, pheasants, chuckar, quail, etc. For waterfowl we use some Bismuth, which I can't find anymore.?.
