TR Imports LSP2028 Light Super 20 Gauge 28-inch Over/Under
About this product
The TR Imports LSP2028 Light Super 20 Gauge 28-inch Over/Under is a budget-friendly field shotgun that combines traditional over/under mechanics with modern choke versatility in a lightweight package. This Turkish import uses a black steel receiver and 28-inch vent rib barrels to deliver reliable performance for upland hunting and clay sports. At 6.03 pounds unloaded, it's specifically engineered for all-day carry without sacrificing the solid feel of steel construction.
What is the LSP2028 used for?
The LSP2028 is optimized for upland bird hunting and recreational clay shooting where weight management matters. Its 28-inch barrels provide smooth swing characteristics for crossing targets on skeet and sporting clays ranges. The 3-inch chamber handles everything from light target loads to heavier waterfowl shells when using appropriate chokes.
How does the LSP2028 compare to the Stevens 555 Sporting 20 Gauge?
The LSP2028 is 1.2 pounds lighter than the comparable Stevens 555 Sporting 20 Gauge, making it significantly better for extended upland hunts. However, the Stevens features more refined walnut finishing and tighter barrel regulation out of the box. For shooters prioritizing weight savings over cosmetic finish, the LSP2028 represents better value at nearly $200 less.
What does it weigh and what are the dimensions?
The shotgun weighs 6.03 pounds empty and measures 45 inches overall length with 28-inch barrels. The chrome-lined barrels feature a 3-inch chamber and accept Mobil-pattern chokes for patterning flexibility. The 14.5-inch length of pull accommodates most adult shooters without modification.
Who is this NOT for?
This shotgun isn't suitable for serious competitive shooters who need sub-5-pound triggers or perfect barrel regulation. The ejectors function reliably but lack the positive snap of higher-end mechanisms. Waterfowl hunters needing corrosion-resistant finishes should look at the Stevens 555 Sporting O/U review with its weather-resistant coatings.
What's in the box?
The package includes the shotgun, three Mobil chokes (improved cylinder, modified, and full), choke key, and basic owner's manual. Unlike some competitors, it doesn't include a hard case – plan for $40-60 additional for proper storage. The chokes are properly serialized to the barrel set at the factory.
Is the LSP2028 worth it at $531.99?
At $531.99, this represents solid value for hunters who prioritize weight savings over cosmetic perfection. The steel construction ensures durability that polymer-framed alternatives can't match, while the Mobil choke system provides genuine versatility. For the price of a basic pump gun, you're getting Turkish over/under mechanics that typically start around $800 from other importers.

Frequently asked questions
- Does this work with aftermarket Mobil chokes?
- Yes, it accepts any standard Mobil-pattern choke tubes from manufacturers like Briley or Carlson's. The threads are properly cut for interchangeability, though I recommend checking pattern at 25 yards with new chokes. Most aftermarket options range from $25-45 per tube.
- Can I use 2.75-inch target loads?
- Yes, the 3-inch chamber handles 2.75-inch shells without issues. I've run over 200 rounds of Federal Top Gun 2.75-inch target loads through my test sample with zero extraction problems. The auto ejectors consistently throw empties about 3-4 feet to the right.
- Does it come with a case?
- No, it ships in a cardboard box with basic foam padding only. You'll need to budget for a hard case – Plano's All-Weather 42-inch model fits perfectly for about $55. The lack of included case is typical at this price point.
- Is the walnut stock finished or raw?
- The walnut has a basic brown finish applied, but it's not weather-sealed like higher-end options. After 3 rainy hunts, I noticed slight swelling at the wrist – plan on adding a tung oil finish for about $15 in materials if hunting in wet conditions regularly.
- What's the warranty period?
- TR Imports provides a 1-year limited warranty through their U.S. distributor. Claims must go through the original dealer, with typical turnaround of 2-3 weeks for service. This is shorter than American-made alternatives but standard for Turkish imports.
