So my dad has been handing down a few guns to my brother and I lately.

Last week he gave me an unfired Franchi AL-48 Deluxe in 28 gauge. He also gave me two boxes of Winchester 7 1/2 shot.

It's an extremely light gun... I believe around 5 1/2 lbs. I have a capable 12 gauge semi-auto. What's the niche of a light-weight 28 gauge Italian like this? Hunting small game? Clay pigeons?
 
You can do anything you like. Your dad has great taste and you scored big time.

Upland game, clays, whatever you want (apart from long range goose hunting, perhaps.) :D

Carry around a 5-6 pound gun in the mountains all day and you'll really appreciate the differrence. :cool:
 
That gun is the lightweight of semis - weighing in what a really nice SxS might do - meant for carrying all day - it will take everything from quail/snipe to grouse/pheasant - what's not to like?
