The GForce Arms GF5 Filthy Pheasant 12 Gauge O/U 28″ is a break-open over/under shotgun built for upland hunters who want a dependable field gun without the boutique price tag. This Turkish-made scattergun pairs a select-grade Turkish walnut stock with a ventilated rib barrel and a corrosion-resistant nickel-finished receiver, chambered for 3″ shells. It ships with an extended five-piece choke set for patterning versatility, and the hi-viz front bead with brass mid bead keeps you on target fast. Per manufacturer specs, this 12 gauge delivers a consistent swing and reliable lockup for pheasant, quail, and dove.

Key Features
- Select-Grade Turkish Walnut Stock — This isn’t shelf-grade wood. The hand-selected walnut offers rich grain and a durable oil finish that holds up to sweat, rain, and field abuse while giving you a classic O/U look.
- Nickel-Finished Receiver — The corrosion-resistant nickel finish sheds moisture and scratches better than blued steel, so your shotgun stays looking fresh after a wet morning in the cornfield.
- Extended Five-Piece Choke Set — You get IC, M, IM, F, and Skeet chokes threaded into the barrels, letting you dial in pattern density from tight turkey loads to open dove spreads without buying extras.
- Ventilated Rib Barrel with Hi-Viz Front Bead — The 28″ vent rib dissipates heat fast and reduces mirage on hot days, while the hi-viz front bead and brass mid bead give you a crisp sight picture for quick swing-through shooting.
- Break-Open Action with Automatic Ejectors — The O/U action locks up tight with a tang-mounted safety/selector, and the auto ejectors kick spent hulls clear, so you reload faster on a covey rise.
Who It’s For
This shotgun is for the tech-savvy hunter who wants an affordable over/under with modern finish technology and a reliable action. It’s ideal if you’re chasing pheasants in the Dakotas, quail in Texas, or doves in Argentina and need a gun that patterns well and shrugs off weather. It also fits shooters who want a dedicated O/U for sporting clays or trap without dropping $1,500+.
Pros & Cons
Pros: Nickel finish resists rust; extended choke set included; select walnut looks premium; auto ejectors speed up reloads; price point undercuts most O/Us by $200–$400.
Cons: The trigger pull is heavier than aftermarket triggers (around 6–7 lbs per user reports), and the stock length of pull may feel short for taller shooters — consider a recoil pad extension.

Note: Zev Technologies and Timney Triggers don’t manufacture over/under shotguns — this table shows how the GF5 compares in build quality and price to aftermarket-focused brands. For a real-world competitor, the Stoeger Condor O/U ($400–$500) offers a similar price point but lacks the nickel finish and extended choke set.
FAQ
What chokes come with the GForce Arms GF5 Filthy Pheasant?
The shotgun ships with an extended five-piece choke set: Improved Cylinder, Modified, Improved Modified, Full, and Skeet. These thread directly into the 28″ barrels and let you switch from tight turkey patterns to open dove spreads.
Is the GForce Arms GF5 Filthy Pheasant compatible with 3-inch shells?
Yes, the chamber is sized for 3″ shells, so you can run 2.75″ target loads or 3″ magnum pheasant loads without issues.
What is the weight of the GF5 Filthy Pheasant?
Per manufacturer specs, the shotgun weighs approximately 7.5 lbs, making it light enough for all-day field carry but heavy enough to manage recoil from 3″ loads.
Does the GF5 have automatic ejectors or extractors?
It has automatic ejectors — they kick spent hulls clear of the chambers when you break the action open, speeding up reloads. Empty shells fly about 3–4 feet behind you.
What is the barrel length and rib type?
The barrels are 28 inches with a ventilated rib profile. The rib reduces heat mirage and provides a flat sight plane for the hi-viz front bead and brass mid bead.
