The problem with most production side-by-side shotguns is that they were designed 50 years ago and are made on machines as old. The new Autumn Elite is a modern four-lug design made on new state-of-the-art CNC machines, holding up to a .0001” tolerance. This makes for a double gun that is as durable and reliable as it is beautiful. The Autumn Elite, a double gun for the 21st century. The Elite model features a deluxe grade of Turkish Walnut that is available in English stock with splinter fore-end or pistol grip with semi-beavertail fore-end. The action is engraved with an Acanthus pattern scroll, featuring gold game scenes. The result is a traditional and elegant aesthetic combined with modern function and durability.
