The new Practical Defender features a rugged black composite stock, making it tough enough for serious competition or hunting. As a true do-it-all shotgun, the Practical Defender features an accurate 22" barrel, adjustable open sights, indestructible composite stock and forearm and versatile Winchoke® system. The Practical Defender is designed for top performance in the fast-growing "practical shooting" pump shotgun events and is also perfect for camping in bear country or even an occasional grouse hunt. Additionally, it is a capable deer gun, accurately firing Foster slugs or sabots when using a WinChoke® rifled choke tube (available separately). Features an eight-round magazine.
