Key Features
- Reverse Striker Ignition System – Reduces lock time and provides faster, more reliable primer strikes. Why it matters: You get consistent ignition even in cold, wet conditions when you need a quick follow-up shot.
- MonoLock Hinge – A single-piece hinge design that eliminates side play and maintains precise barrel-to-receiver alignment over thousands of rounds. Why it matters: Your second shot stays on target without re-zeroing.
- Adjustable Comb Stock – A Mossy Oak Shadow Grass Habitat synthetic stock with a tool-less comb adjustment for drop and cast. Why it matters: You can dial in the perfect cheek weld for your build and shooting style.
- Extended Invector-Plus Choke Set – Includes three extended chokes (Full, Modified, Improved Cylinder) for pattern control. Why it matters: You can fine-tune your spread for decoying ducks or flushing pheasants.
- Burnt Bronze Cerakote Finish – A durable, corrosion-resistant coating on all metal surfaces. Why it matters: This finish holds up against saltwater, mud, and heavy use without rust or wear.
Who It’s For
This shotgun is built for the southern waterfowl hunter who spends early mornings in the blind and late afternoons in the dove field. It suits shooters who want a low-profile over/under that swings fast and handles heavy 3-inch loads. The adjustable comb makes it a good fit for hunters who share a gun or want a custom fit without a gunsmith. It’s also a solid choice for sporting clays shooters who want a rugged field gun that can double as a range companion.
Pros and Cons
- Pros: Fast-handling low-profile receiver; durable Cerakote finish; reliable ignition system; adjustable comb for custom fit; extended choke set for pattern flexibility.
- Cons: The synthetic stock lacks the warmth of wood; some shooters may find the fore-end a bit slim for gloved hands in cold weather.
