Detailed Features
The semi-auto action distributes recoil across the operating cycle, which reduces felt recoil compared to a pump or break action with the same load. At 4+1 capacity, you have more follow-up shots than a two-round break action, relevant for fast-flushing birds or quick clay sequences.
Three chokes come included (IC, Modified, Extra Full Turkey), covering most applications from upland birds to turkey without extra purchases. The length of pull is 14-3/8", and the red-bar front sight is easy to pick up against typical hunting backgrounds.
The Mossy Oak Bottomland pattern works in hardwood environments and early-season vegetation. At 7.3 lbs with a 26-inch barrel, the balance is reasonable for a full day in the field.
