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 XLR 5 Velocity FA02142
The most obvious feature of XLR 5 Velocity is an adjustable point-of-impact rib. This ramp style rib starts at the rear of the action at 11mm wide and tapers to 9mm at the muzzle. The rib elevation is easily adjusted with a small thumb wheel at the muzzle end. Point-of impact is adjustable from a 50/50% to 80/20% pattern without the use of tools. The Micro Metric adjustable stock compliments the adjustable rib, allowing the shooter to fine tune the gun for the perfect fit. Additionally, the stock incorporates a shim system for adjusting drop and cast. Another first is the Velocity’s adjustable trigger for length-of-pull. It is the first adjustable trigger ever to be designed into a semi-automatic shotgun. There is also a standard weight system built into the fore-end cap that allows the shooter to alter the weight up to 4 1 ounces in 1 1 once increments. These features make the Velocity extremely versatile. Reliability is critical to competition shooters. To enhance reliability, FABARM’s XLR 5 action has been restricted to accept only 2 3” ammunition. This allows the system to be recalibrated to easily handle the lightest target loads. The Pulse Piston gas system has a polymer insert which works like a progressive break in the gas cylinder. Its key features include the elimination of valves, self cleaning and a significant reduction in felt recoil. To further reduce recoil and increase pattern performance the barrel is designed with a tapered bore called Tribore HP. The bore diameter at the camber end is overbored to .735” and gradually tapers to .725” at the muzzle end. Additionally, there is a recoil reducer included in the stock. The Exis HP choke tubes are 92mm long and utilize a hyperbolic internal design to match the performance of the barrel. Five chokes are included with the Velocity. The bolt release and bolt handle are oversized for competition use.
