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
Kimber Marias
Depending upon your age the name "Kimber" will conjure up two very different images. For older guys like me, a very classy bolt-action .22 springs to mind, but for most, the mind picture is one of a 1911. At one time Kimber created a market for the upscale .22 and today they deserve much of the credit for the phenomenon we call the 1911. But they've also brought us a couple of shotguns definitely upscale and strongly reminiscent of British game guns of days long gone by. Awhile back we told you about a classy little side-by-side 20 gauge. Now there's an over/under they call the Marias and it will knock your socks off. The name comes from a pass in Glacier National Park near Kalipsell, Montana, a major feature on Lewis and Clark's path to the Pacific. Both guns are made in Turkey in the town of Huglu with a tradition very much like the guilds of Europe going all the way back to the 16th century. The guns are built in a small factory with a sign saying "Hatfield Gun Co" and a working relationship exists between Kimber and Hatfield.
