Who It’s For

Pros & Cons
- Pros: Light weight (6.2 lbs), low recoil, five chokes for versatility, elegant wood and engraving, affordable price point for an over-under.
- Cons: The manual safety and break-open action require a little practice to operate smoothly — not a deal-breaker, but something to show a new shooter before heading to the range.
