Why Choose the 1887?
Lever-action shotguns occupy a unique niche in the shooting world. They're intuitive to operate, reliable, and distinctly elegant. The 1887 is equally at home in the upland fields, at clay ranges, or simply as a conversation piece in any serious gun collection.
The marriage of form and function here is genuine. The color case hardening isn't just cosmetic—it's a time-tested hardening process that protects the steel. The walnut stock absorbs recoil naturally and improves with age and use.
Practical Considerations
This is a shotgun for the shooter who appreciates craftsmanship and doesn't mind a slightly different manual of arms. Lever actions require a different technique than pump or semi-automatic shotguns, but that learning curve is part of their charm and appeal.
