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
Fabarm Axis 12 Field Elite
The gun was first launched as a 20 bore about 3 years ago - the 12 bores are relatively new. The action, underneath the radical exterior, is typically Gardonne. It has split hinge pins but combines them with Browning style locking (like many Italian guns other than Beretta, Perazzi and Gamba). This system means the action is a little deeper - arguably more of an issue in 12 than a 20 (yet the test 12 looks pretty svelte and shows what may be accomplished with a little styling). The action design offers benefits too. It is very strong with lots of bearing surface. Notably, it allows for 3” chambers and high pressure proofing at 1630 BAR (which may become the new industry standard).
