Considerations & Trade-offs
- The 4+1 capacity may be more than some hunters need for certain applications, so it can add a bit of bulk compared with lower-capacity setups.
- The 28" barrel offers a steadier shooting platform, but it is less compact for transport and movement in tight cover or blinds.
- It is chambered for 2-3/4" and 3" shells, so it does not cover 3-1/2" loads if that is part of your hunting setup.
- The standard stock configuration is intended to fit most users, but individual fit preferences may still call for adjustment or testing before the season.
