And, who bought them?

I think my father bought mine with the plan to use it on quail if I decided I would rather deer hunt than upland hunt. My brother had gotten a Browning Superposed a couple years earlier for Christmas and decided he would rather have a rifle for deer hunting. My father bought him a Winchester Model 70 in 30-06 which for deer hunting where I grew up was almost overkill. Dad kept the Browning.

My first morning out with the 28 I killed a limit of ducks. First three shots were one shot kills. We had ducks back then on a little creek on the farm and the longest shot might have been 20 yards. It was love at first shot and has never stopped for shotguns for me.
