Winchester ‘SPECIAL – X’ 12g Over and Under Boxlock Ejector Shotgun.
29 ¾” (756mm) barrels with 2 ¾” (70mm) chambers and fixed chokes at ¾ and Full. Topped off with a ½” (12mm) double sight beaded rib. Matt machined to each side with a fine lined centre strip as a sight line. Fully detailed with EAST ARTON, ILL. USA. So one of the American made options.
The action is decorated with some scroll work engraving and finished in black. It offers a selective trigger so you can choose top or bottom barrel fire first.
An EXCEPTIONAL HIGHLY FIGURED STOCK LEAPS this gun WELL above the ordinary. The forend comes with the usual wider grip format. Pull length is a good 14 ¼” (362mm) and has a reasonable right hand cast. It finishes the gun off at 46 ¾” (1187mm) overall. Weight is 8Lbs 2oz. (3.686 Kg).
THERE ARE more and more None Toxic Shot alternatives being produced. WITH near matching performances to traditional lead and close to, if not matching pressures. Take a look at Horton Gunmakers for their own entry into this debacle of modern day shooting. IF its so lethally deadly to shooters and game eaters how is it every old lead water main supply pipe is not getting ripped out and replaced? To my mind it’s a DISGRACE that the shooting industry did not simply ask that one simple question. NO, they saw an excuse to charge a fortune and that mainly to the detriment of the quarry. Just my opinion …..for what its worth?
Anyway, take a look for yourself:

NOW, to TRY and help speed up availability I WILL also suggest that YOU pass on details to everyone you know who shoots. Then ALL of us start to ask whoever we buy from why they are not DEMANDING cartridges made in this material? Basically VOTE with your WALLET. YES, it will take a little time for everything to filter through but patience IS a virtue. It also allows everyone who wants to keep hold of their ‘old favourite’ for the rest of their lives. Even pass it on to the next generation and hopefully beyond!
On that note I AM looking into the possibility of stocking some direct from Steve at Hortons. RING for an update and keep checking the web site.
