Key Features
- 4140 Chrome-Moly Barrel with Full Chrome Lining — The barrel steel is heat-treated 4140, then chrome-plated inside and outside for corrosion resistance and easier cleaning. This matters because it extends barrel life and keeps patterns consistent even after heavy use.
- 12″ Turkish Walnut Stock with Oil Finish — Checkered grip panels provide a secure hold in wet or gloved conditions, and the oil finish lets the wood breathe. Why it matters: you get the look and feel of a custom stock without the custom price.
- Single Selective Trigger — Flipping the tang-mounted selector lets you choose which barrel fires first. Why it matters: faster follow-up shots and the ability to tailor your shot sequence to the target presentation.
- Five Interchangeable Chokes — From Cylinder to Full, these steel shot-compatible chokes let you dial in the pattern for clays, upland birds, or home defense. Why it matters: one shotgun covers multiple disciplines without needing a second barrel.
- Engraved Receiver — The blued steel receiver features laser engraving that adds visual depth without adding weight. Why it matters: it elevates the look beyond a basic field gun while keeping the price under $650.
Who It’s For
This shotgun targets shooters who want a dedicated 28-gauge over/under for sporting clays, skeet, or upland hunting. The 28-gauge recoil is noticeably lighter than 12-gauge, making it ideal for smaller-framed shooters, beginners, or anyone who wants to shoot more shells with less fatigue. The 2-round capacity and single selective trigger also suit casual competitive shooters in NSSA or NSCA events. If you’re an early adopter looking for a lightweight, tech-forward O/U that doesn’t require a gunsmith to tune, the Cavalry Sport SGD fits that niche.
Pros & Cons
- Pro: Chrome-lined bore and chamber resist corrosion and make cleanup a breeze — a must for shooters who hunt in wet conditions.
- Pro: Sub-6.5-pound weight makes it easy to carry all day in the field or swing fast on clays.
- Con: The 2-round capacity limits use in some competitive formats (like 3-gun) where 4+ rounds are standard. This is a dedicated O/U, not a tactical scattergun.
