The nicely figured stock has a refreshed hand rubbed oil finish and crisp checkering. The overall weight of the gun is 7lb 2oz making it ideal for game as well as clays. Articulated front trigger, disc set strikers, and automatic safety. Presented in a leather case with maker's label. *** The 30” nitro steel barrels have excellent bluing and shiny bores. Chambered for 2-1/2” shotshells and London nitro proofed for 1-1/8oz. Topped by a raised solid concave gamestyle rib. The rib is inscribed “J.
