Description
The Kinematic Drive System uses recoil energy to cycle the action, resulting in proven reliability with minimal moving parts and easy maintenance—even in harsh weather or with varied loads. The famous “humpback” receiver provides the long, raised sighting plane that made the original Auto-5s so effective for fast target acquisition. The Lightning-style stock’s ergonomic design makes it a superior choice for upland game and sporting clays, ensuring quick, repeatable shots with comfort and control. Included are three Invector-DS choke tubes for field versatility and a T-wrench for user-friendly choke changes.
