Considerations & Trade-offs
- The 28" barrel and 49" overall length make this a full-size shotgun, so it may feel less compact in tight cover or when carrying for long periods.
- At 7.31 lbs, it is not the lightest option in the field, which can be a consideration for hunters prioritizing minimal carry weight.
- The 4+1 capacity is practical for hunting use, but it is not intended for high-capacity applications.
- The 3" chamber offers flexibility, but users should still match loads and choke selection to the intended game and shooting conditions.
