Detailed Features
The semi-automatic action handles rapid follow-up shots cleanly. The Invector-Plus choke system lets shooters swap choke tubes for different game or shooting conditions without tools.
The Turkish walnut stock looks good and holds up to field use. At 7.4 lbs it's not the lightest option, but that weight helps absorb recoil on a 30-inch-barreled gun. Brass bead sights are simple and fast to pick up in varied lighting. The crossbolt safety is straightforward and easy to reach.
Usage Scenarios
The 30-inch barrel and 3-inch chamber make this a natural fit for upland and waterfowl hunting where a deliberate swing matters more than quick shouldering. On the sporting clays course the longer barrel aids smooth target tracking. The walnut and engraved receiver also appeal to buyers who want a shotgun that looks the part at the club or in the field.
