Detailed Features
The Turkish walnut stock is comfortable to grip and ages well with regular use. The fiber optic front bead picks up quickly across varying light: overcast mornings, late-afternoon competitions, or bright open fields.
Mechanical triggers are independent per barrel, so a problem on the first shot doesn't affect the second. The selectable firing order lets you decide which barrel fires first, giving you control over which choke engages for the opening shot. Benelli/Mobil chokes are a common standard, so finding a replacement or specialty tube isn't difficult.
The box lock action is straightforward to maintain and keeps the receiver dimensions compact relative to sidelock designs.
Usage Scenarios
The 12-gauge format is the most versatile option in the Premier line. It handles clay target events and general upland or waterfowl hunting without the ammunition availability constraints of smaller gauges. The 26-inch barrel suits most field and sporting clays applications; the 28-inch adds a longer sight plane for dedicated clay work.
