Didn't want to hijack Rudys post on Isides but wondering if anyone here has one in 28ga? I've read they weigh in at 5 1/4 pds and wondering if the 28 inch or 30 inch are whippy. I'm shooting my Bobwhite G2 with 28's pretty good, but it weighs 6lbs even. Thanks |

My G2 Bobwhite 28ga weighs in at 5 1/2lbs as per the specs. I shoot it better than my 20ga LC Smith FW with 26in barrels although the two feel identical in weight when held in my hands. The longer barrels make some difference I am sure since it swings more smoothly. |

Byron, We must shop at the same store! I have a 20ga LC FW also. With 26 inchers, it comes in at 6 1/4. My G2 is closer to 6even, like 5lb 15oz on the digital scale. The G2 definitely feels more weight forward |

I bought my 20ga Elsie a couple years back on Gunbroker and I was lucky enough to win the Bobwhite last year at the vintage skeet shoot up at Powder Creek.
CZ was conducting drawings for guns from all entries in the event. I was drawn for a 12ga Sharptail and since I already had a 16ga Ringneck I wanted a 28ga for a new skeet gun(Was shooting NSSA skeet last year). The CZ rep said I could not have the Sharptail in 28ga because it cost $300 more. I checked what they had and saw the G2 Bobwhite was actually less expensive and it was similar to my LC Smith guns so I asked for that. They went along with it because it saved them money!(of course then I had to buy a new Mec for 28ga0 |
