Manufactured in the United Kingdom in 1987, this 12-gauge Model 700 side-by-side represents the quintessential British gunmaking tradition, offering a timeless blend of exquisite craftsmanship and reliable performance. Designed with a straight English stock and a solid rib that tapers from 8 ½mm to 6 ½mm, this versatile shotgun embodies the enduring elegance expected from a premier heritage manufacturer.

This remarkable firearm is in excellent overall condition, highlighting pristine wood with remarkably sharp chequering that beautifully complements the vivid color hardening and lovely scroll engraving across the receiver, fence, & trigger guard. Although the bluing is very much intact, the 28-inch barrels display a couple of minor storage marks and the lightest of corrosion, which ultimately does not detract from the gun's striking visual appeal.

Mechanically, the gun locks up tight with a smooth break action, while the double triggers, automatic safety, and well-timed ejectors are firing well to ensure flawless operation. Chambered for 2 ¾-inch shells with Extra Cylinder & Modified fixed chokes, this elegant piece features a 14 ⅝-inch length of pull, 1 ½-inch drop at comb, and 2 ½-inch drop at heel, requiring an FFL for transfer.
