Key Features
- Ventilated Rib Barrel with Hi-Viz Front Sight – The 28″ vent rib barrel cuts heat mirage and provides a clear sight picture. The Hi-Viz front sight and brass mid bead help you stay on target fast, especially in low light or fast-moving bird shots.
- Select Grade Turkish Walnut Stock – Fixed Turkish walnut with a semi-gloss finish gives this shotgun a classic field look that’s also durable. The ventilated butt pad reduces felt recoil, making long sessions on the range or in the field more comfortable.
- Five Extended Chokes Included – You get a full set of extended chokes (Cylinder, Improved Cylinder, Modified, Improved Modified, Full) to dial in your pattern for clays, pheasants, or doves. No need to buy extras right away.
- Black Aluminum Receiver – The lightweight aluminum receiver keeps the overall weight manageable at around 7.2 lbs, while the matte black finish resists scratches and glare in the field.
- 3″ Chamber, 2-Round Capacity – Chambered for 3″ magnums, this over/under handles everything from target loads to heavy field loads. The 2-round capacity (one in each barrel) keeps things simple and legal for most hunting scenarios.
Who It’s For
This shotgun is built for shooters who want a reliable over/under without dropping a grand. Early adopters and tech-savvy shooters will appreciate the modern aluminum receiver paired with classic walnut. It’s ideal for upland bird hunters, clay busters, and anyone who likes the clean break-action feel of an O/U but doesn’t want to mortgage their ammo budget. If you’re stepping up from a pump or semi-auto and want to try the over/under platform, this is a solid entry point.
Pros & Cons
- Pros: Affordable price for an over/under, includes five extended chokes, Hi-Viz sight system, lightweight aluminum receiver, ventilated rib reduces heat distortion, comfortable recoil pad.
- Cons: The Turkish walnut stock has a fixed length of pull (no spacers or adjustable comb), so taller shooters may want to check fit before buying. Also, the extractors are not auto-ejectors — you’ll need to manually lift spent shells.
