- The tang-mounted automatic safety resets every time the action is broken open, building a consistent and safe handling habit into the natural reload cycle of the gun
- The non-ejector extractor partially lifts spent shells for easy manual removal without throwing empties, keeping brass and hulls together for shooters who reload their own shotgun shells
- The fixed Improved Cylinder and Modified chokes are matched to the two triggers, giving shooters two distinct constrictions available in a single gun with no tools, no choke wrench, and no swapping required
- The A-Grade satin walnut stock and forend deliver genuine wood character and a smooth, hand-friendly finish at a price point that makes this shotgun one of the most accessible classic-styled side-by-sides on the market
