FIGURE 2
The barrel is 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.
Supreme models are fitted with the proven Invector Plus choke system.
These longer tubes have special tapers for optimum patterning — plus they
are specially designed for back-bored barrels. It allows you to change choke
constrictions to meet the demands of the game being hunted or target shot.
Extra-full choke tubes are available for hunting turkey or other game requiring
extremely tight patterns with lead shot loads.
Supremes feature a durable, traditional rib
design in both field and sporting widths.
The barrels and forearm remove
for easy cleaning and storage.
When empty shells are ejected from a Supreme they leave the
chambers at virtually the same time, flying side-by-side through
the air. This is a sign of a very well timed mechanism.
