Who This Shotgun Is For
This is for the upland hunter who covers miles of prairie or woods and needs a reliable, fast-handling companion. It’s also a great entry point for the shooter wanting to experience classic side-by-side shooting on sporting clays without a massive investment. If you appreciate the simplicity and directness of a double gun but have been priced out of the high-end market, this model demands a look. The price point makes it a serious contender for anyone comparing value against other imported doubles like those from CZ or Stoeger.
Pros & Cons
Pros: The automatic ejectors are a huge practical advantage over extractors, speeding up your workflow. The 28″ barrel offers a classic, balanced feel that many shooters prefer for wingshooting. The light engraving elevates it from a purely utilitarian tool. For the money, you’re getting features often found on guns costing several hundred dollars more.
Cons: As a value-focused import, fit and finish may not match that of a high-end European gun. Side-by-sides have a steeper learning curve for consistent accuracy compared to over-unders for some shooters. It may not have the same level of aftermarket support for stocks or chokes as more common models.
One of its best features? It’s typically drop-in ready for use with standard 12-gauge ammunition from brands like Federal, Winchester, or Remington, requiring no gunsmithing to get started. The overall length with 28″ barrels provides that classic handling dynamic that has defined side-by-sides for generations.
