Key Features

• 24″ Black Chrome Ni-Cr-Mo Steel Barrel – WHY IT MATTERS: The chrome lining resists corrosion and wear from magnum loads, and the 24″ length balances swing speed with pattern density for tight-cover turkey hunting.
• Weaver-Style Cantilever Optics Rail – WHY IT MATTERS: The receiver is grooved and fitted with a factory-installed rail, so you can mount a red dot or scope without drilling or gunsmithing—saves you time and money.
• Fixed Mossy Oak Bottomland Synthetic Stock – WHY IT MATTERS: The camo pattern blends into woods and fields, and the synthetic material shrugs off rain, mud, and cold without swelling or cracking.
• 3″ Chamber with Manual Cross-Bolt Safety – WHY IT MATTERS: Handles everything from light target loads to heavy 3″ magnum turkey loads, and the cross-bolt safety is easy to find with gloves on.
• Rubber Recoil Pad – WHY IT MATTERS: Reduces felt recoil from magnum shells, keeping you on target for quick follow-up shots during a gobbler’s approach.

Who It’s For

This shotgun is for the hunter who needs a reliable pump that won’t break the bank. It’s ideal for turkey hunters who want a dedicated camo gun with an optics rail, but it also works for upland birds, waterfowl, and ranch varmint control. If you shoot right-handed and want a full-size 12ga that cycles 3″ shells without jamming, this is your rig.
