Built for both the range and the marsh, this semi-automatic gas shotgun delivers dependable performance and effortless handling in all conditions. Offered with either a rugged synthetic option or a refined hardwood version, its gas system is tuned to cycle everything from light target loads to heavy waterfowl shells without fuss. The action wears a tough ceramic coating for long-term corrosion resistance and easy maintenance. The wood models feature premium Turkish walnut shaped with precise checkering and a subdued semi-gloss sheen that balances classic looks with a secure, comfortable hold. Thoughtful accessories — a removable choke set compatible with common mobile-thread systems, a cushioning recoil pad, a bright fiber-optic front sight, and adjustable stock shims — come standard. With the bolt locking open after the final shot for faster reloads and a five-year warranty standing behind it, this shotgun is built to perform and built to last.

Caliber Dictionary
The Below Information Has Been Provided From Our Gun Caliber Dictionary And Is Meant For Informational Purposes Only. It Is Not Intended to Describe The Unique Specifications For This Ammunition.
The 28 gauge was introduced in 1903 by Parker Brothers, famous for double-barrel shotguns. With a nominal bore diameter of .550-inch, it is considered a "small gauge" shotgun, and 28 gauge is one of the four officlal events in American skeet. Case length is 2 3/4 inches and the standard charge is just 3/4-ounce of shot. That said, with modern shells the 28 gauge is surprisingly effective on both clay targets and upland birds. Although definitely an "expert's shotgun," the 28 gauge has the advantage of low recoil, can be built into very light shotguns, and is much more effective than the .410. Over the years it was kept alive mostly by serious skeet shooters, but today is often chosen by serious upland bird hunters. Because of pellet count it is most effective with smaller shot sizes (7 1/2, 8, and 9), so is rarely employed by waterfowlers. — Craig Boddington
