Technical Specifications
| Feature | Details |
| Action | Boxlock with silver finish and ultra-modern scroll engraving |
| Chamber | 3" (76mm), suitable for standard and magnum loads |
| Proofing | Fleur-de-Lys (Steel shot proofed for High Performance loads) |
| Barrel Lengths | Available in 28" or 30" with a 5mm ventilated top rib |
| Stock | High-grade Turkish Walnut, hand-oiled finish |
| Trigger | Single selective trigger (mechanical, rather than inertia-based) |
| Weight | Approximately 7.5 lbs to 7.9 lbs (3.4 kg to 3.6 kg) |
| Choke | Supplied with 5 interchangeable internal chokes (Skeet to Full) |
Key Features
- Ergonomic Design: The stock features a pronounced European-style cheekpiece and a palm swell on the pistol grip, providing a more secure and comfortable mount than standard field stocks, ideal for extended use in the outdoors.
- Mechanical Triggers: Unlike many modern O/U shotguns that use inertia to reset the second barrel, the Vantage uses a mechanical system. This ensures that if your first shell misfires, the second barrel will still fire on the next pull without needing to toggle the safety, offering reliable performance during hunting or sporting events.
- Visual Appeal: The shotgun is noted for its "Vantage Scroll" engraving, designed to look more contemporary than traditional floral patterns. This is paired with a distinct "bolster" on the receiver that remains un-engraved for contrast, enhancing the overall aesthetic.
Usage Notes
- Steel Shot: While the shotgun is High Performance steel proofed, it is generally recommended to use no tighter than Modified (1/2) choke when shooting steel to avoid barrel damage, ensuring longevity for your firearm.
- Safety: Most models come with a manual safety but include a conversion kit in the box to make it an "auto-safety" (where the safety engages automatically when the gun is opened) if the user prefers, offering customisation for user preference.
