Over/Under Shotguns

An over/under shotgun suits the beginner too

As well as sporting use, over/under shotguns are excellent for hunting. An over/under shotgun is a safe and dependable choice for any hunter, which is why many newcomers pick one as their first gun. 

An over/under shotgun works well for hunting every kind of game. Its strengths are ease of use, reliability and a fast follow-up shot. The gun is cocked by breaking it open, and it carries two barrels mounted one above the other. The barrels can be fired separately, in whichever order the shooter chooses. The over/under is the most common type of shotgun used for hunting in Finland. Its shooting characteristics are good and recoil is easier to manage than on a side-by-side shotgun, for example.

Intended use plays a large part in choosing a shotgun. Weights vary considerably between hunting and range guns. Range shotguns are usually somewhat heavier than hunting shotguns, and the right balance in the gun gives a real advantage in shooting. For hunting, choose a gun light enough to suit your own strength and shooting habits. In a hunting shotgun it is important that the gun comes up naturally to the cheek and points at the target the moment it is mounted.
