I don't see the point in a 28 gauge combination. Maybe others don't either? So a reason they don't exist?
I think some of the multi barreled things four or five barrels have a sub 12 gauge barrel.
Lots of combinations have 16 gauge barrels.
Probably the sub 12 g use is to keep the combination lighter and trimmer in cross section with the extra barrel(s).
Never seen a 28 gauge shotgun myself.
Why not go for a .410 shotgun combination?
I have been reading this post with great interest as I really enjoy shotguns'. Have several SxS's ... with my favorite being a FOX in 16 ...
When I read the comment of the .410 I remembered reading the 28 patterned better per what I had experienced and what I had read.. found this article which seems to back that up.. Its a great guage for early season birds.. would not use it now on pheasants as they are all feathered up and a bit wild this time of year..
