Special Features

• The sideplate design extends engraved coverage further down the receiver than a standard boxlock action, giving the gun a more traditional, high end appearance associated with classic side by side guns.
• A ventilated top rib runs the length of the barrels, helping dissipate heat mirage during repeated shooting and aiding a clean sight picture.
• AA grade Turkish walnut provides a dense, attractively figured stock and forend that stands apart from standard grade wood on entry level over unders.
• The five piece extended choke set covers a full spread from cylinder to full, giving you pattern options for everything from close flushing birds to longer crossing shots without buying separate chokes.
• The break action design allows quick visual and physical confirmation that the gun is unloaded, which matters for hunters moving between vehicles, blinds, and walking cover throughout the day.
• A red fiber optic front sight gathers light for a bright, fast sight picture when swinging on a rising or crossing target.

Practical Benefits

• If you want a light, fast handling shotgun for a full day chasing pheasant, quail, or grouse through heavy cover, the 6.5 pound weight and 28 inch barrel balance quick target acquisition with steady swing dynamics.

• For hunters wondering whether a double gun can compete with a semi auto for upland work, the reliability of a break action, paired with the flexibility of five interchangeable chokes, gives you a shotgun that adapts shot to shot without ever worrying about cycling issues.
• The AA grade walnut stock and sideplate engraving suit hunters who want a shotgun they are proud to carry into the field and pass down as an heirloom piece.
• Clay shooters benefit from the consistent break action trigger pulls and the ability to quickly swap chokes between stations for different target presentations.
