Not sure how much help, I have several AYAs and one Rizzini (F.A.I.R.) o/u. In 28 gauge I enjoy both firearms. The little Rizzini was my go to gun for hairs, ptarmigan, grouse, doves and crows. I pretty much use it exclusively for crows and pigeon. I have a number 1 in 28 gauge and I use it for dove, grouse and quail. I love that little gun and I think I have ran several thousand rounds through it I have hunted the AYA hard in some of the nasty brush. But my advise is go with what feels best to you. I would steer you towards the AYA in a side lock or look at the little AYA round action in 28. good luck in your quest. Keep us posted.
