Classic Styling, Modern Utility

The Plantation’s color case hardened receiver gives the shotgun a museum-grade look—warm, variegated tones that age beautifully—while the black vent rib barrel provides a contemporary contrast and functional benefits: reduced glare, better cooling, and a clear sight plane for fast-moving targets. The Turkish walnut pistol grip stock provides a secure, comfortable interface between shooter and shotgun, delivering excellent pointability and a pleasing balance that suits both walking hunts and stand shooting.

Fit, Function & Shot-to-Shot Performance

This over/under is tuned for predictable swing and crisp break-open operation. The 3" chambers accept 1¾ oz to 3" magnum loads (verify recommended loadings in the owner’s manual), and the included five choke tubes let you tailor patterns for close-range flushes or longer upland shots. The brass bead front sight provides an immediate reference for instinctive shooting, while the single-selective trigger (or double — specify at point of sale) offers a clean, consistent pull for precise follow-ups.

Patterning & Choke Selection Tips

  • Start by patterning the shotgun at 30–40 yards with each choke to see where pellets group.

  • Use improved cylinder or modified for close flushes and dove; improved modified and full for longer upland or big-bird shots.

  • Always test pattern with the load you intend to use in the field—load weight and pellet type affect point of impact and pattern density.

Maintenance & Care

  • Wipe down metal surfaces after use and periodically apply a light gun oil to the receiver and hinge points.

  • Clean the barrels after each shooting session with appropriate bore solvent and a patch to remove residue.

  • Treat the Turkish walnut with a mild stock oil sparingly to preserve finish and prevent drying.

  • Have a qualified gunsmith inspect locking lugs, ejectors, and the hinge at regular intervals if the firearm sees heavy use.

Fitment & Safety Notes

  • Verify local laws regarding shotgun capacities and transport before purchase.

  • Use only the types of ammunition and maximum loadings specified in the owner’s manual. Overpressure or improper ammunition may cause damage or injury.

  • Ensure the shotgun is unloaded before changing choke tubes or performing maintenance.
