- The triple trigger system lets shooters of different hand sizes dial in a trigger reach that feels natural, reducing fatigue during high-round-count range sessions
- The 60/40 point of impact keeps rising birds and clay targets in the shooter's line of sight rather than obscured by the barrel, a meaningful advantage in competition and field settings
- Three included Invector-Plus Midas chokes provide immediate versatility from the box, covering tight choke for long crossing shots to open choke for close-flushing birds
- The steel receiver and polished blued finish offer proven durability for shooters who put serious rounds through their guns season after season
