Key Features
- Oiled Turkish Walnut Furniture – Why it matters: The oil finish soaks into the grain, giving you a warm, traditional grip that stays comfortable in cool morning air, unlike glossy varnishes that can become slick.
- Single Selective Trigger – Why it matters: You can choose which barrel fires first with a simple flip of the selector, helping new shooters learn to follow through on the second shot without fumbling.
- Auto Ejectors – Why it matters: Spent shells are kicked clear automatically, so you and your kids spend more time focusing on the next target and less time prying out hulls.
- Five Interchangeable Choke Tubes – Why it matters: From tight patterns for long-range clays to open spreads for close flushing quail, you can adapt this shotgun to any field or course with just a twist.
- 26″ Blued 4140 Chrome-Moly Barrels – Why it matters: That extra inch over a 24″ barrel improves swing and follow-through for beginning shooters, while the chrome-moly steel holds up to thousands of rounds of target loads.
Who It’s For
This shotgun is built for families who want one gun that does it all: Saturday morning skeet with the kids, dove fields in September, and maybe a round of trap at the club. It’s also a smart choice for a first over/under for a teen or spouse who’s ready to move up from a single-shot.
Pros / Cons
- Pro: Affordable entry into a quality over/under – you get auto ejectors and a selective trigger at a price point that usually means a side-by-side or pump.
- Pro: Turkish walnut stocks are known for dense grain and good oil absorption, giving you a durable, attractive finish that ages well.
- Con: The receiver is aluminum, not steel, so it may show wear faster if you shoot heavy 3″ magnum loads regularly. Stick to target and field loads for best longevity.

FAQ
What chokes come with the ATI Cavalry SVE?
The shotgun includes five interchangeable choke tubes: typically Full, Modified, Improved Cylinder, Skeet, and Cylinder. This covers everything from tight pattern clays to open field shots.
Can I shoot steel shot through these barrels?
Yes, the 4140 chrome-moly barrels are compatible with steel shot, but use the appropriate steel-rated choke tubes. The included tubes are not specifically marked as steel-safe, so check the tube markings or replace with steel-rated chokes for waterfowl hunting.
Is the trigger adjustable for pull weight?
No, the single selective trigger is not user-adjustable. It is set at the factory to a typical pull weight around 5-6 lbs, which is suitable for most field and clay shooters.
How does the auto ejector work on this gun?
When you break open the action after firing, the auto ejectors kick the fired shells clear of the chambers. Unfired shells are lifted slightly for easy removal but not ejected. This is a standard feature on many over/under shotguns at this price point.
