I'd second what Sheridan and JW! said. I shoot a Mossberg 835, and while I love the patterns it puts out, as well as the maneuverability/short barrel/lightweight aspects, it kicks far more than any other shotgun I have ever shot. Mine has a 20" barrel, so your 28" one should help just a tad...JUST a tad in recoil, but still with a 2 3/4" turkey load and neck problems, I would recommend against it. If I were in your situation, I would be getting a semi-auto and still wouldn't shoot anything over 3"...preferably 2 3/4". It is up to you, but that is what I would do.
