Shotguns Descriptions

Bernardelli Beccaccia 28" 12GA

The Beccaccia side by side shotgun is a variation of the model “Roma” featuring engraving executed with a combination of different techniques and hand finished. The fences are different from the model Roma as they come with a refined border which gives the gun a higher quality look than the models in the same price range. The unique checkering of the stocks is preferred by many collectors. These side by side shotguns share the same Anson & Deelay-type mechanism and the same working principle as the more prestigious models in the line. Materials used, heat and galvanic treatments are also identical. The only difference is in the more basic engraving patterns and the employment of wood grain finish for stocks and forends. Bernardelli side by sides feature the lug integral with the tube (demi-block system), which gives the gun a better look and higher safety. Wood is brought from Turkey, where high quality is still available. The majority of Bernardelli side by sides features Anson&Deelay batteries and V-shaped main springs, that guarantee a better functioning than spiral-shaped springs. Bernardelli side by sides range includes also Holland&Holland and exposed hammer shotguns, which come with end-user customized fine hand engraving and game scenes.

Browning Silver Hunter

The Browning(R) Silver Hunter(TM) Matte is a lightweight, fast handling semi-auto shotgun that's designed with upland bird hunting in mind; though its self-adjusting Active Valve gas system increases its versatility to include most any type of wing shooting or shooting sport. The Active Valve gas system vents excess gas out the top of the forearm, and away from the receiver for clean, reliable operation with 2-3/4" and 3" shells, without the need or adjustment. The Silver Hunter Matte model comes with a matte blued barrel, a 2-tone silver/black receiver, and a checkered Turkish walnut stock with a brown, ventilated recoil pad. The semi-humpback receiver design with a ventilated rib and brass front bead creates a sight picture that's quick to pick up and swing on moving targets. The barrel comes back bored and threaded for Browning's Invector-Plus choke tubes (includes IC, M, & F) to deliver consistently tight shot patterns. The low recoiling Browning Silver Hunter Matte Semi-Auto Shotgun allows for fast follow-up shots and all-day shooting comfort on the clays range or wing shooting.Lightweight and fast handling2-tone silver/black receiverBlued barrelTurkish walnut stockVentilated recoil padActive Valve gas systemCycles 2-3/4" and 3" shellsVent rib and brass front beadInvector-Plus choke tubesBack bored barrel
