Weighing in at roughly 7.5 pounds, the Impala Plus carries solidly but doesn’t feel cumbersome during a long stalk or a day in a blind. The 24″ barrel length is a sweet spot—maneuverable enough for tight spots in a duck boat or a ground blind, yet long enough to maintain a smooth swing for pass-shooting or upland birds. The price point of $549.04 positions it as a serious tool without a luxury markup, built for getting scratched by briars and exposed to the elements. It ships to Missouri and compliant US states, ready for your local FFL to complete the transfer.
Who This Shotgun Is For
This is the shotgun you grab when the forecast calls for rain at the marsh or a cold morning in the turkey woods. The hunter who needs one dependable, camo-clad gun for multiple seasons will appreciate its versatility. It’s also a practical choice for the rural landowner or farmer facing predator control or needing a reliable tool for property defense where reach and power are priorities. The action is mil-spec compatible in its ruggedness, built to function when it’s dirty or wet.
Pros & Cons
Pros: The camo finish is applied to metal surfaces, offering real protection and concealment. The fiber-optic sight is a genuine upgrade over a plain bead in variable light. The 3″ chamber and 5-round capacity give you practical options. Its overall build prioritizes function and durability over unnecessary frills.
Cons: As a pump-action, it demands user training for fast, effective follow-up shots under stress. The finish, while tough, can show wear on high-contact points with heavy use. Some may prefer a shorter barrel for strictly home-defense scenarios, but that’s not this gun’s primary role.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is the camo finish durable, or will it scratch off easily?
A: The Realtree Xtra pattern is a baked-on finish designed for field use. It will resist abrasion from brush and normal handling, though like any camo, it can wear over time with heavy, direct contact on hard surfaces.
Q: Can this shotgun shoot 2 3/4″ shells reliably?
A: Absolutely. A 3″ chambered shotgun handles 2 3/4″ shells flawlessly. This gives you the full range of ammunition options, from light target loads for practice to the heaviest 3″ magnums for turkey or geese.
Q: What is the actual magazine tube capacity?
A: The “5rd” designation typically means 4 shells in the magazine tube plus 1 in the chamber for a total of 5. Always confirm local hunting regulations, as many game laws restrict capacity to 3 shells total (2+1) during season.
