Key Features
- Rebounding Hammer: The hammer stays off the firing pin after each shot, reducing risk of accidental discharge when you open the action.
- Pivoting Lock: Locks the barrel tight to the receiver during firing, then pivots clear for smooth, fast single-shell reloads.
- 28-Inch Round Blued Barrel: Long enough for a good swing on crossing targets, but light enough to carry all day in the field.
- American Walnut Pistol-Grip Stock: Provides a solid, comfortable hold and traditional looks that hold up to weather and rough use.
- Rem-Style Choke Threads: Lets you swap chokes easily—modified is installed, but you can run full, improved cylinder, or aftermarket tubes.
Who It’s For
This shotgun fits new shooters learning the basics on a single-shot platform, hunters who want a reliable, no-frills gun for upland birds and small game, and instructors who need a simple, safe action for students. It also works for anyone who just wants a durable, low-maintenance 12 gauge for occasional clays or property defense.

- Pro: Lightweight at 6.1 lbs, so it carries well on long walks.
