Classic break-action .410 shotgun with 18.5" barrel and black synthetic stock. Compact 30.4" overall length makes it ideal for hunting, sport shooting, and home defense.
The Iver Johnson 700 represents a straightforward approach to shotgun design—a break-action .410 that does what it's supposed to do without unnecessary complications.
The .410 bore is often underestimated. While it delivers less shot volume than larger gauges, it's perfectly adequate for small game, upland birds, and clay target shooting. The compact 18.5" barrel and 30.4" overall length make this shotgun easy to handle in brush and tight spaces—a genuine advantage for hunters navigating thick cover.
The break-action design is inherently reliable. There are no complex mechanisms to maintain, no springs to weaken over time. You open the action, insert a round, close it, and shoot. This simplicity has made break-action shotguns popular for over a century.
Black synthetic furniture is practical. It resists weather, requires minimal maintenance, and won't crack or warp like wood. For a working shotgun, it's the sensible choice.
This shotgun suits hunters pursuing small game, shooters developing fundamental skills, and anyone seeking a reliable, no-frills firearm for sport or utility purposes.
