Key Features
- Fire Lite 2 Mechanical Trigger — why it matters: This trigger system delivers a crisp, consistent pull every time, reducing the chance of flinching and helping you break more clays.
- Adjustable Comb System — why it matters: You can fine-tune the comb height and cast to match your face shape and shooting style, which means better cheek weld and more consistent hits.
- 32” Vent Rib Barrel — why it matters: The longer barrel smooths out your swing and gives you a longer sight plane, making it easier to track fast-moving targets on the sporting clays course.
- Silver Nitride Stainless Steel Receiver — why it matters: This corrosion-resistant finish not only looks sharp but also holds up to humid range conditions and frequent cleaning.
- New Engraving and Styling — why it matters: The updated aesthetics give the shotgun a modern, refined look that stands out in the rack without adding cost or weight.
Who It’s For
