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

Franchi Affinity 3 Catalyst

Take the popular Affinity 3, optimize it for women's physical structure and you get the Affinity Catalyst. No, it is not a renamed youth model, as is true with other brands; it is the result of a scientific study aimed to deliver professional-level-performance for women. The heart of the concept is the stock- drop, cast, pitch and length of pull. As a women's cheek-bones sit higher than men's, the comb is raised to achieve eye-alignment with no need to lift the head. Also, special cast makes it easy to shoulder. in all, the Affinity Catalyst will give women the feel and function that serious shooters expect of their firearms.
