Description
There's a reason upland hunters keep coming back to the 28 gauge, and the ATI Cavalry SX makes a strong case for it. This break-open over/under pairs 26 inch vent-rib barrels with a laser-engraved receiver machined from 7075 aluminum, which keeps the weight right around six pounds. That matters when you're carrying a gun through grouse cover or quail country all day. It comes up fast, swings light, and the soft-shooting 28 gauge means you won't be beat up at the end of a long walk.
What Makes the Cavalry SX 28 Gauge Worth a Look
The barrels are blued 4140 chrome moly steel topped with a brass bead front sight, and the single selective trigger lets you pick which barrel fires first, handy when you want an open choke for the flush and something tighter for the follow-up. This SVE version includes automatic ejectors that kick spent hulls clear when you break the action, so reloads are quick when the birds are moving. Five interchangeable choke tubes come in the box, giving you the flexibility to set the gun up for close-flushing quail, passing doves, or a round of skeet.
Turkish Walnut and Old-School Fit
The oil-finished Turkish walnut stock and forend give this gun a look that punches above its class, and each one is hand fit at the factory. Stock dimensions run traditional field spec with a 14.23 inch length of pull, 1.45 inch drop at comb, and 2.2 inch drop at heel, so it should mount naturally for most folks. The 2.75 inch chambers handle the full range of standard 28 gauge field and target loads.
A Smart Way Into the Over/Under World
Double guns in 28 gauge often carry a serious price tag, which is what makes the Cavalry SX appealing. You get the ejectors, the engraving, the walnut, and the choke versatility of a proper field gun in a package that's easy to carry and easier to swing. For dove season, preserve hunts, or breaking clays on a Saturday morning, it's a lot of gun for the money.

Frequently Asked Questions
What chamber length does the ATI Cavalry SX 28 gauge have?
This model has 2.75 inch chambers, which is standard for the 28 gauge. Nearly all 28 gauge field and target ammo on the market is loaded in 2.75 inch shells, so you'll have no trouble finding what you need. Some listings show a 3 inch chamber for this gun, but the barrel is marked 70mm, which is 2.75 inches.
Does the Cavalry SX 28 gauge have ejectors or extractors?
This SVE version comes with automatic ejectors, which throw spent hulls clear of the gun when you break the action open. That makes reloading faster in the field compared to extractor models, where you pluck the empties out by hand. ATI also sells an extractor version under a different part number, so double check the MPN if that matters to you.
How much does the ATI Cavalry SX weigh, and is it good for upland hunting?
The Cavalry series runs right around 6 pounds thanks to the 7075 aluminum receiver, and the 28 gauge version is among the lightest in the lineup. That light weight combined with 26 inch barrels makes it a quick-handling gun that's easy to carry through a full day of walking. It's well suited to quail, dove, grouse, and preserve birds.
What choke tubes come with the Cavalry SX and can I swap them?
Five interchangeable choke tubes are included, covering constrictions from open patterns for close flushes to tighter chokes for longer shots. Combined with the single selective trigger, you can set each barrel up with a different choke and choose which one fires first. That flexibility lets one gun handle everything from skeet to late-season birds.
