The Japanese-made 28's, which were among the last SKB sxs to come from Japan, were on the heavy side. Made on a 20ga frame. Likely OK for skeet, but not what most hunters are looking for in a 28ga. The Turkish 28's, as noted above, feel more like a 28ga designed for hunters should feel. That being said, they also make a version with a high rib that's designed with target shooting in mind. So you can pick your poison.
