I love my 28 gauge I hunt squirrel rabbit quail dove and I load slugs for it for deer hunting. I shot clays with a 28 also. I load my own with 7/8 ounce #6 or 7 1/2 for clays.
The dominant shotgun here in America is the 12 gauge. The 20 gauge. 10 gauge, 410, and then the 16 gauge. Most gun makers have unit making the 16 gauge. Savage has brought it back for $775.00 US dollar. Most Americans won’t buy browning or Winchester. We won’t buy guns from countries wher the citizens can’t own guns. With the 28 being dead last . But you can find 28 gauge ammo. One thing we do like about your 410. It’s chambered in 3.5.
Programme is nice except that you have your finger on the trigger the moment you have loaded the gun. That's a little dangerous and not in the gun safety rules.
Next to the trigger guard and spot on the trigger. Not that I care, it just shows how repetitive wrong things are hard to correct and become the normality.
There is no other gun would rather go on an upland game hunt with than my 28" barreled, 28 gauge Yildiz SPZ ME. The main reason is that every SPZ ME I've shot has fit me as if bespoke and handled as if it were an extension of me. The trigger on mine is crisp and consistent. The barrels are properly regulated and they pattern beautifully with the Winchester AA and Cheddite cartridges I shoot through it. All of that adds up to consistently hitting what I shoot at in the field. But there are other things I like about the gun. The gun still has a traditional look about it, but the combination of aluminum alloy action body and satin-black chrome exterior barrel finish make for a very weather resistant gun. By comparison, the 20 gauge Ugartechea Model 30 box-lock side by side I shot for nigh on three decades would rust as the very mention of the word "moisture." The satin chrome barrel blacking on the Yildiz is also very scratch and abrasion resistant. My gun has been hunted and shot in weather fair and foul, yet it still presents as it did when I first took it out of the factory packaging. The satin-black chrome barrel blackening also limits glare off the barrels. I'm spoiled by that and frankly wouldn't want a gun without this kind of barrel finish now. The single-selective trigger is mechanical and does not require inertia to reset for the second shot. It goes "bang" every time, without fail. I also appreciate the lack of an auto-reset safety; a common "feature" I find annoying. The action follows the "Brescia action" design. It might not be the pinnacle of gun engineering, but "stupid simple" isn't without its own advantages. When I hunt the gun in foul weather, I can pull the butt stock off, totally detail-strip the action body, dry it all out, re-lube it, and slap it back together, pretty much wherever I am. Any competent gunsmith familiar with hinge-action guns should be able to "tighten" the action on one of these things fairly easy, if and when such work is required. I think the 28 gauge Yildiz SPZ ME has a lot going for it as a field gun, independent of its "value price point." I know I'm not really saving any significant money by shooting my 28 gauge SPZ ME instead of the 28 gauge A y A 4/53 I had been saving my Simoleans for prior to shooting the 28 gauge SPZ ME I bought for my son as a birthday present back in 2012. Out of state hunting licenses cost me the same in Arizona and Oregon regardless of what gun I take there. Getting there and back home costs the same no matter what gun I bring a long. I don't get a discount on AA ammunition because I am shooting it through a "bargain bin" gun. Nothing about actually using a gun gets cheaper just because the gun being used is a value-priced one. Get the gun you want that either fits properly right off the rack or can be bent and tweaked to fit properly. If that happens to be a 28 gauge Yildiz, I don't think you'll be too disappointed if the philosophy of use is as an upland hunting gun that will be carried a lot and shot comparatively little. I don't personally believe that any aluminum action superposed gun is ideal for high-volume target shooting, which is why my sporting clays gun is a steel framed 12 bore SPZ ME and not an aluminum frame one. On the other hand, my Ugartechea Model 30 wasn't a "high volume" gun, either, and it is still serving its present owner as well as it served me for three decades.
@@joeldorsett3970 It depends on where I'm at. The guns come with five chokes from Full, IM, Modified, IC, and cylinder bore. I generally shoot the bottom barrel first so that will usually be the most "open" of the pair. On valley quail in CA and AZ, I'm usually cylinder in the bottom and I/C up top. Chukar in CA and NV, I'm I/C bottom and M up top. Southern Kansas bobwhite usually has me I/C bottom, F up top. It just depends on how the birds generally act. On the sporting course, I shoot it I/C and M.
Ok I want both in my gun collection. And im looking for some small bore single barrel shotguns. The rest 24 GA 32ga 28 ga. And a 20ga to complete the singles. Doubles the same bores.
Cos this one’s about the gun, not shooting technique, and we can only run so many cameras at once. Agree it would be nice, will try to set up an extra camera for that angle next time 🎥🎥🎥
Total load of rubbish. The 410 and 28 gauge are so close, just a matter of a few pellets that it would make little difference, rather than the gun we need to look at the instructor and see if their approach to a young beginner is correct and the gun they wish to shoot is light enough for them to handle because recoil can very quickly switch someone off as I have experienced.
You should see how many I get when no ones watching 😉
Great videos

Wasn't on the trigger, was next to the trigger next to the trigger guard. Look closer.
Next to the trigger guard and spot on the trigger. Not that I care, it just shows how repetitive wrong things are hard to correct and become the normality.
Wish you had also told us it has a bit of right hand cast which cannot be changed for a lefty.
Which model is this? Is it a dedicated sporter model?
Would you suggest starting an 11 year old on this or a 20 with light trainer loads?

What chokes do you shoot out of your 28 gauge I shoot one and I’m really indecisive of what I should shoot out of the gun
@@joeldorsett3970 It depends on where I'm at. The guns come with five chokes from Full, IM, Modified, IC, and cylinder bore.

It just depends on how the birds generally act.
On the sporting course, I shoot it I/C and M.
I guess you can shoot anything if we can’t see you crushing the targets.

Another great video Team,I have the choice of a yildiz or kofs 28b for my Daughter
Not much price difference.
What's your thoughts on the kofs please?
I'm interested in a 28 bore but what is the recoil like compared to a. 410
Gun manufacturers and ammo makers have conspired to sell 28 Guage guns by not making ammo for the 410!
I have had mine for 8 years and all we have had to do was put a new set of firing pins in
The break on my 28 is very very tight. Any fix for that? Thank you
Lube & Work it
@@robertsalyers1351 I'm doing that with white grease is there a better lube.
@@kateeilers574 I like to use wd40 and a light coat of gun oil. Maybe try both and see what works best
@@kateeilers574 * I would stay away from any type of lubrication that attracts grit.
How do I put my hands on the Yildiz 12 gadge Sporter, we only have one importer of Yildiz and they don't t carry the Sporter, please advise
Dear David, what is the barrel length on the 28ga you are shooting
Thanks Richard
26 inches
In the US the 28 gauge ammunition is triple the price of 12 or 20 gauge.
Cheaper than 410 on midway usa right now.
Berettas the way to go
Ty
Who starts a youngster on a 410 ??? It's the best way to put them off shooting !!! No real room for error with them .
Agree. We are out there to encourage the shooting sports with our kiddos, start with a 20 ga.
Definitely !! with a light load they are great,
I started with a .410 on wild birds in the US when I was seven years old. Still hunting wild birds almost 30 years later...
Price?
About £550-ish. The second hand ones well under £450. Bargains to be had with junior guns.
Go to guntrader.co.uk
Around $450
$440 at academys sports
Think your channel is great but why are we not seeing the targets your shooting at?
Cos this one’s about the gun, not shooting technique, and we can only run so many cameras at once. Agree it would be nice, will try to set up an extra camera for that angle next time 🎥🎥🎥
@@TSCTheshootingchannel ok thanks for the reply.
We're hunting wascally wabbits.
What is the name of ur shop please?
He is the Oxford Gun Company www.oxfordguncompany.co.uk/
Hi iam looking at getting the 28 bore but personally I think it will be short in the stock as am use to shooting browning what are the stock length
I think be a great squirrel and rabbit gun
What is recoil
That's the first thing you feel when you Kill someone or something LoL
@@robertsalyers1351 ok told a bit to have someone respond😂
Love mine need to go squirrel hunting with it shot Clay's with it my Remington 1187 better on Clay's or my 870 Remington Express
Rembo))
No price mentioned ?? Who wants to see someone shooting ?? We want to see the target being broken very poor camera work !!

Aluminium action!!! No thanks
