Stocks are profiled for an ideal fit, fast
handling and reduced felt recoil on the face.
Special models feature an adjustable comb
for a personalized fit.
Target models feature a
trigger that adjusts for
length of pull (pages 23-24).
Deluxe recoil pad provides
maximum comfort.
The top-tang “safety”/selector offers
excellent convenience with gloved fingers.
The dual locking pins are made to stay tight under years
of heavy use. The locking pins are larger and sturdier than
the competition’s shotguns and optimize the strength of the
action while allowing an overall lower profile of the receiver
than found on some other over and under shotguns.

The durable rib design is available in both
field and sporting widths.
The barrels and forearm remove
for easy cleaning and storage.
Barrels are back-bored for improved pattern performance. Back-
boring means that the barrels are made with a slightly larger inner
bore diameter than traditional dimensions. This results in less
resistance to the shot column as it moves down the bore and less
deformation of pellets as they move through the forcing cone. There
is also a slight decrease in perceived recoil.
All Model 101 and Select shotguns are fitted with the
proven Invector-Plus
™ choke tube system. These longer
tubes have special tapers for optimum patterning and are
specially designed for back-bored barrels. This allows you
to easily change choke constrictions to meet the demands
of the game or target.
The compact, low-profile receiver features
an ideal combination of action strength
and balance. The receiver is quick and
lively, not too small and not too bulky.
When empty shells are ejected, they leave
the chambers at virtually the same time,
flying side-by-side through the air. This is
a sign of a well-timed mechanism.
