The Dickinson Estate 12 gauge side-by-side pairs 28-inch barrels with double triggers and a box-lock receiver finished in true bone-charcoal case hardening (Dickinson part no. 122H). It comes out of Dickinson’s Turkish factories as a field double built for feel and balance, the kind of gun that carries easily through a morning of walking up birds. The English-style stock is premier grade Turkish walnut, grade 2, with a hand-rubbed oil finish and fine hand checkering at 24 lines per inch. English scroll engraving dresses about a quarter of the receiver, a brass front bead sits at the muzzle, and automatic ejectors clear fired hulls when the action opens. With thin-wall choke tubes, it is a practical 12 gauge for pheasant, quail and the sporting clays course alike.

Key Specifications

• The gauge is 12 gauge, the most versatile bore for upland hunting and clays, with the widest choice of shells.
• The barrels are 28 inches in a side-by-side layout, a length that swings smoothly on crossing birds without feeling long in cover.
• It uses double triggers, giving instant barrel selection with no selector to set.
• The action is a box lock, the simple, durable design behind most field-grade doubles.
• The receiver carries true bone-charcoal case hardening, the traditional finish that produces the mottled colors of a classic game gun.
• Engraving is English scroll at roughly 25 percent coverage, enough to dress the receiver without crowding the case colors.
• The stock is premier grade Turkish walnut, grade 2, cut in the English style with a hand-rubbed oil finish.
• Chokes are thin-wall choke tubes, so constriction can be matched to tight coverts or open fields.
• Automatic ejectors throw fired hulls clear as the action opens, which speeds a reload when a second covey flushes.
