Because barrel stability is key to extended-range accuracy, this shotgun's barrel is of extra-heavy, 1" diameter configuration and measures a full 25 1/2". It's also pinned to the receiver to control vibration for rifle-like, shot-to-shot consistency. Five longitudinal flutes keep minimize weight and heat buildup while bolstering barrel rigidity. Six Parabolic Ultragon rifling grooves with a 1-in-35" twist optimize slug flight. This shotgun provides the rock-steady aim and outstanding pointability of our ambidextrous ShurShot pistol-grip synthetic stock. Rubberized overmolding at the pistol grip and extended fore-end offer a sure hold in adverse conditions. The receiver is drilled and tapped, and the included Weaver rail makes adding optics a cinch. Sling swivel studs are built in.
