If you ask Bruce Horrell, host of Gun Dog TV, why he shoots 3 1/2? shells, he’ll answer, "Because they don’t make 4 inch.” For the folks who want to dish out the heat on waterfowl, we’ve got the over/under to do it with. The only over/under in our line that has an automatic safety, it engages every time the action is opened, bringing an added level of safety to the duck blind. Polymer stocks in either black or Realtree Max5 camo and with all metal work blacked out, these 3 1/2? chambered guns are ready to knock big birds from the sky. The Swamp Magnum ships with a set of extended black chokes.

Caliber Dictionary
The Below Information Has Been Provided From Our Gun Caliber Dictionary And Is Meant For Informational Purposes Only. It Is Not Intended to Describe The Unique Specifications For This Ammunition.
12 gauge is the most popular and useful shotgun gauges ever made. Suitable for everything from doves to geese. With sporting, military and law enforcement applications. Available in 2 ¾”, 3” and 3 ½”. The magnum lengths are generally preferred for waterfowl and turkey. Most major manufacturers produce guns and ammunition in a very wide septum for 12 gauge. Loads from ¾ oz. to 2 oz. are common with 1 1/8 oz Low base and 1 ¼ oz being the most common loadings. Target loads are normally around 1150 to 1200 FPS with High velocity lead loads tuning up 1350 FPS. Steel waterfowl loads tend to be loaded faster around 1500 FPS to compensate lower density shot. While the 2 ¾” loading is still the most popular ammunition made, nearly all current production guns have 3”or 3 ½” chambers. The shorter ammunition can be safely fired in longer chambers, but not all magnum semiautomatics will function with shorter shotshells. — Craig Boddington
