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

Marocchi SI12 F12GA24

The Marocchi SI operates on the principle of inertia utilizing kinetic energy caused by the recoil of the shell within the barrel. The system requires no outlet for gas or barrel recoil, but operates by means of a spring that situated between the bolt head and the bolt. Inertia operating system advantages The SI system is the newest type of reloading system. It has an extremely simple mechanism which need the minimum of maintenance, unlike normal gas-operated, semi-automatic shotguns, that need constant cleaning and maintenance due to gas discharge into the magazine tube. Less maintenance equals maximum durability. Barrel The barrel is made of St. Etienne steel. This softer steel allows for a better shot pattern with a more powerful and precise distribution of pellets. The most technologically advanced machines are used in the boring of the barrel and for the exterior profiling. The utmost accuracy is achieved in this precision manufacturing, making a major contribution to the safety and superb shooting characteristics of the SI. Special steel proof test The gun is tested by the Italian National Proof House with the special “Steel Shot Test.” The barrels are stamped by “Lily of France” as confirmation of this special test. This makes the gun suitable for shooting high performance steel shot ammunition 12(3”) with a pellet diameter up to 4 mm. Maxi SI 70 Choke Tubes: A set of 5 different choke tubes, covering a range of restrictions, are supplied with the gun. The long taper (cone length) ensures a tight shot group which maintains impact force and pattern density. They are ideal for use with steel ammunition (use choke tubes maked 3-4 or 5 dents only). SAFETY button on trigger guard. Ventilated Rib.
