Here’s the thing—this isn’t a gadget-laden firearm. It’s a fundamental instrument. The fixed chokes (Improved Cylinder and Modified) are chosen for a reason: they cover the vast majority of upland scenarios from 15 to 35 yards. The double triggers mean you’ll never fumble for a selector switch when a grouse flushes. The weight, just over six and a half pounds, balances perfectly at the hinge, making it easy to carry all day and swing smoothly. At $716.18, it represents a significant value for a hand-fitted, durable shotgun that’s ready for serious use. The action is hand-polished and the barrels are regulated for precise point of impact, a detail often reserved for far more expensive guns. This level of fit means it’s drop-in ready for the hunter who appreciates craftsmanship without the custom price tag.
Who It’s For
This shotgun is for the traditionalist hunter who values simplicity and speed over capacity. It’s for the Missouri wingshooter pursuing quail, dove, or pheasant in heavy cover where a fast, instinctive shot is critical. It’s also an excellent choice for a shooter looking to master fundamentals on the sporting clays course. The side-by-side configuration teaches economy of motion and precise gun mounting. If your kit prioritizes reliability and a direct connection to the task, this is your tool. It ships to Missouri and compliant US states, ready for your next hunt.
Pros & Cons
Pros: Exceptional pointability and fast handling. The Olive DrabGreen finish is highly durable and reduces glare. The walnut stock offers a classic, secure grip. Double triggers allow for instant choke selection. The 28″ barrels provide a smooth, stable swing. It represents outstanding value for a hand-fitted shotgun—no gunsmithing required to get it field-ready.
Cons: The two-round capacity demands marksmanship. Fixed chokes limit long-range versatility compared to screw-in systems. The side-by-side profile can feel wider in a scabbard than an over-under. It’s a pure hunting tool, not a tactical or high-capacity defense platform.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What chokes does it have and can they be changed?
A: The Bobwhite comes with fixed chokes: Improved Cylinder in the left barrel and Modified in the right. They are not interchangeable. This setup is ideal for most upland hunting, offering a wider pattern for close shots and a tighter one for longer opportunities.
Q: Is the stock checkered for a secure grip?
A: Yes, the American walnut stock features hand-cut checkering at the grip and fore-end. This provides a positive, non-slip hold in wet or cold conditions, ensuring control when you mount and swing the gun.
Q: What type of sight does it use?
A: It features a simple, durable brass bead front sight. This low-profile sight is perfect for instinctive, target-focused shooting—you look at the bird, not the bead. It’s compatible with most standard adhesive fiber-optic sights if you prefer a brighter aiming point.
