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.
Select shotguns 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 or target. Extra-full choke tubes
are available for hunting turkey or other game requiring extremely tight patterns
with lead shot loads.
Select shotguns feature a durable 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 Select 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.
