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

H&R 1871 Topper SB1098

Topper Deluxe has the same rugged, reliable function and basic look and feel as the original Topper, but has the added versatility of a 3 1/2" 12 gauge chamber. The first name in single shots. The single-shot, break-action shotgun has been an American mainstay for well over a century. And no gunmaker in history has mastered its sleek, simple design like Harrington & Richardson. In fact, they their first in 1893. The Topper name resonates with many generations of shooters because it's often the gun you start with as a youngster and return to as an adult when you realize simple is better. When you desire one well placed shot from a lightweight, dependable shotgun, Topper is the lineup more people trust than any other. All models are single-shot, break-open action with side lever release, automatic ejection and the Transfer Bar System that acts as a safety to prevent unintended firing. Also, each gun comes complete with its own special locking device.
