1974 Stevens Model 311 Series H 20 Gauge SXS 28 " Barrels M/F Chokes - VG+ Condition
Description:
Overview
The Stevens Model 311 Series H 20 gauge is widely reviewed as a highly reliable, utilitarian "working man's" shotgun. Built by Savage Arms to be rugged rather than refined, it is praised for its durability, mechanical simplicity, and excellent handling in the field.
Key Performance & Design Traits
- Durability: The box lock action and internal hammers are incredibly robust, earning a reputation for lasting for generations.
- Handling: In 20 gauge, the shotgun is lightweight and points quickly. This makes it a favorite for upland bird hunting (like quail and pheasant) and casual trap shooting.
- Recoil: The recoil is very manageable, offering a decent punch without punishing the shooter.
- Extractor vs. Ejector: It features simple extractors rather than auto-ejectors, meaning it lifts the spent shells out for manual removal rather than throwing them to the ground.
Specifications
The Stevens Model 311 Series H 20 gauge is a classic, American-made side-by-side shotgun known for its ruggedness and reliability. It features a break-action design with double triggers, extractors (not ejectors), and a color case-hardened receiver.
