I think my father gave me the 28 with the thought that if I wanted a deer rifle he would take it for quail hunting and buy me a Model 70 30 06. My brother got a Browning superposed a couple years earlier, then decided he wanted a deer rifle more. Dad kept the Browning, brother got a Model 70. We had a family friend who was a Winchester rep..
But I loved that 28 Skeet gun. We had a creek perfect for ducks which I could kill 100 ducks a year on. The only time I got into trouble was when I killed three geese with it one morning. Decoying ducks were one thing my father said but geese were too big for the 28 with an ounce of 5 shot. He was right but I killed three with four shots. Still I never tried it again. That 28 will be with me for life and my three sons will have to cut cards to see who gets it. That or they can pick one gun at a time out of the gun room. It would be a thought call on if I would choose the 28 or one of the 42 pigeon grades. I think 28.
