Thanks for all your experience and opinions.

I'm looking for a single trigger O/U 28ga that I can carry cold season for mountain grouse and gray partridge, and operate gloved. This morning there is fresh snow here and we still have 60 days of wild bird hunting remaining.

I already have the double trigger bases covered with a SXS at 5.5 lbs. I'm ready to reenter the world of O/U platforms, as I've hunted SXS almost exclusively for 20 yrs. plus I'd like a newer model suitable for all ammo.

One O/U 28ga I had my eye on is just under 7lbs., but obviously is on a 20ga frame. I'm going to keep looking for something sub-6lbs. with ~28 inch pipes. Any suggestions?
