The double forcing cone barrels and Optima HP choke system let you tailor your pattern to the target, whether you are working a dove field, a pheasant flush, or a round of clays. The automatic safety adds a layer of habit forming protection for hunters moving through brush or passing a shotgun between shooting partners. Walnut stock checkering keeps your grip secure during wet or cold weather hunts when a slick stock could cost you a shot.
