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

V. Bernardelli Mira Adamas 26" 28GA

Starting from the project Mira, Bernardelli has also introduced the model Adamas which means “untamable” in Greek. The engraving emulates some of the prestigious Bernardelli models of the past and it is intentionally lighter. Less is more with the fine execution of the engraving on the receiver which shows the purity of lines and the fine polishing. Stock and forend with “Optowood” finishing technology yield wood figure found on only the most expensive guns and allow a very heavy use of the shotgun with no worries of damaging the wood. The “untamable” is suitable for every condition and every use. These side by side shotguns share the same Anson & Deelay-type mechanism and the same working principle as the more prestigious models in the line. Materials used, heat and galvanic treatments are also identical. The only difference is in the more basic engraving patterns and the employment of wood grain finish for stocks and forends. Bernardelli side by sides feature the lug integral with the tube (demi-block system), which gives the gun a better look and higher safety. Wood is brought from Turkey, where high quality is still available. The majority of Bernardelli side by sides features Anson&Deelay batteries and V-shaped main springs, that guarantee a better functioning than spiral-shaped springs. Bernardelli side by sides range includes also Holland&Holland and exposed hammer shotguns, which come with end-user customized fine hand engraving and game scenes.
