Shotguns Descriptions

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

Cimmaron 1897

John M. Browning's first slide or pump-action shotgun became Winchester's 1893 model, designed to handle black powder shotshells. However, after encountering some mechanical difficulties and the fact that it was unable to handle the then-new smokeless powder ammunition, a similar looking, but redesigned and improved model--the famed 1897 pump shotgun--was brought out. The 1897 Winchester was not only an immediate success with both civilian hunters, but the military as well, and with well over a million '97s produced between 1897-1957, this scattergun was the best-selling slide-action shotgun on the market and is undoubtedly the most famous pump shotgun of all time! The action it took part in, during the climactic gunfight in the final scenes of the 1969 classic western The Wild Bunch, combined with it's silky smooth action and rapid fire capability has had much to do with its popularity with today's Cowboy Action Shooters. Cimarron's 1897 Pump Shotgun is an authentic clone of the original Winchester with its Standard Blue finish, 20-inch barrel with choke tube (Modified), that handles 2 3/4-inch, 12 gauge shells, and a walnut stock and forearm. Weighing in at a handy 7.15 pounds, this scattergun is easy to swing into action, fire and reload, during those fast-paced competitions. Cimarron's 1897 Pump Shotgun is the choice of champions!
