Thanks all for your opinions. Based on what I learned here, I bought the repro 28 at what would appear to be a very good price. Of course today is March 31, last day of quail season in Georgia, so it will have to wait til next year to get to the field. Fit for me seems spot on (I am the statistical norm for heighth though above average for avoir dupois) and I am counting on it to cure my problem of missed birds. I will try to ignore the "made in Japan" stamped on the barrels, which has caused me shove guns out of the nest before.
