Anybody know of an establishment I can put my hands on one these? I'm open to all of SC, anywhere west of HWY 601/52 in NC or Knoxville east in TN. I'm in the mood, and would like to stray from the typical Beretta/Browning offerings, I like to be different. NOT a Benelli "fanboy", but this thing speaks to me. I do own a SBE III, and it's okay for what it is. Also have an A400, but prefer my Versa Max's to the Italians, but not my V3 so much, weird. Anyway, the 828U has called to me from day one, but I have no need for an "Upland" gun, but this sporting gun, I need! I'd like to handle one before I buy it.

I did handle an FN SC1 today, which peaked my desire to be different, but didn't get to me like this Benelli. To be frank, I'm not looking for suggestions, I'm looking for an 828U SPORT I can touch. TIA!

just remembered I tried this 10 months ago.

 
psa had like 10 of the 828s some where black but I don’t know if that means sport or not.

The 828U SPORT is a heavier o/u, like 8 lbs, designed mostly for shooting clays. Heavier gun for less recoil. The 828U is a lighter version, designed to be carried in the field. It would cripple your shoulder on a clay course.
 
I would call the places mentioned above and see if they have what you are after. Also a call to Midsouth guns in Wagram may turn something up.
 
Check with the Nichols store. They have more shotguns than I have seen in one place.

I frequent Nichols Store about twice a month, not sure why, maybe because I grew up around there. They had an 828U but no SPORT.
