Why choose an over-and-under shotgun?

The over-and-under shotgun is distinguished by its two barrels positioned one above the other. This configuration offers a particularly intuitive sight line , which explains its popularity among modern hunters. Versatile and well-balanced, it is used for both small game hunting and certain sporting disciplines such as clay pigeon shooting .

Thanks to its design, the over-and-under shotgun generally allows for two different chokes and sometimes two triggers or a selective trigger , offering the hunter the possibility of quickly adapting his shot to the distance or the type of game encountered.

A versatile rifle for many types of hunting.

The over-and-under shotgun is particularly appreciated for its versatility. It effectively accompanies hunters when hunting pheasant, partridge or rabbit, but also when hunting pigeon or in certain waterfowl hunting situations.

Its balance and quick handling allow for instinctive shots, often necessary when hunting moving game.
