$399 @ PSA Not as super a deal as the $300 18” 12 gauge and I have no use for 28” barrels but very tempting for the basis of a SBS. Very tempted as a twin for the 12 gauge if this were chopped to 18”. Not sure how long this deal will last but I’m keeping it in mind as a maybe purchase. |

Doesn’t say anything about chokes in the PSA ad but the same gun listed at Primary Arms (same model number) says “Includes 4 Mobil Chokes (F,IM,M,IC) choke set” Then I found this online also: Choke Details Included Chokes: Ships with a set of four Beretta / Benelli Mobil-pattern choke tubes. Sizes Provided: Full (F), Improved Modified (IM), Modified (M), and Improved Cylinder (IC). (Note: Older or shorter "coach gun" versions of the Badlander with 18.5" barrels feature fixed cylinder bores and do not use removable chokes, but the 28" Field variants are fully choked.) |

My 28" 12ga Badlander came with two chokes in the gun and more chokes in a case. It is stiff as hell to work the action, you'd wear yourself out hunting with one of these if you were shooting more than a handful of shells. The forearm is also difficult to install. The manual says you just drop it into place and push the lever down, but I have to install it and then cycle the action, pull the triggers, etc, to get the springs properly set so that I can put the forearm lever into position properly. |

I just picked up one of these in 28ga. from the PSA sale. Definitely stiff and tight out of the box, but I scrubbed it down, greased it, and sat down doing a bunch of dry fire cycles on it and it feels a good bit better. We'll see how it shoots, overall it seems decent enough for a $400 Turkish delight.
