Its inertia-driven system is known for simplicity and reliability, a design philosophy shared with brands like Benelli.

The included choke tubes let you tailor your pattern for everything from tight turkey shots to open-cylinder for close-range squirrels. It’s a versatile platform ready for Missouri’s diverse seasons.
Who This Shotgun Is For
This is the hunter’s shotgun. It’s for the waterfowler standing in a December marsh, the turkey hunter motionless against an oak at dawn, and the dove shooter working a sunny field line. If your priority is a no-nonsense, dependable firearm that you can grab and go without worrying about finicky gas systems in the cold, this is your pick. It’s also a solid choice for recreational clay shooting—though you’ll want to add a few extra shells to your vest. The design is drop-in ready for the field, requiring no gunsmithing to get started.
Pros & Cons
Pros: The inertia system is famously easy to clean and maintains function across diverse ammunition. The full camo finish is practical and durable. The 28-inch barrel offers a smooth, traditional swing. It provides excellent value for a dedicated hunting semi-auto. The textured grip is a real asset in poor weather.
Cons: The 4-round capacity may feel limited for some high-volume clay sports. The inertia-driven action can have more perceived recoil than a gas-operated system. The camo pattern, while excellent for hunting, isn’t everyone’s choice for a multi-role shotgun.
