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
Winchester 1887 12GA30"
The Winchester Model 1887 was designed by John Browning for Winchester in 1887. The Winchester company was known at that time as makers of lever-action guns, and they wanted to keep that image and make a lever action shotgun. The Model 1887 was the first lever action shotgun made in the USA. It was a very popular shotgun at that time because with a capacity of 4+1 it offered more fire power than the standard side-by-side or over&under shotguns of that era. This solid frame shotgun shot black powder shells from that era, so shooting modern shells is not advisable. Winchester made 64,855 Model 1887 shotguns between 1887 and 1898 but model was discontinued later in 1901. In 1901 they start to make a Model 1901 that was basically the same gun, just slightly redesigned and with a stronger action that was safe to shoot smokeless powder shot shells. Deluxe versions has much higher value, especially if engraved.
