The Dickinson Estate 12 gauge side-by-side is a boxlock break-action shotgun with 28-inch barrels and a single trigger (Dickinson part no. 121H). It follows the classic English layout, with an English-style stock, hand-checkered Turkish walnut and a true bone-charcoal case-hardened receiver. Dickinson chambers it for 3-inch shells and fits thin-wall choke tubes, so the same gun can serve for upland birds, clays and general field work. The brass front bead and wood checkered butt plate keep the look traditional.

Key Specifications

• The gauge is 12, the most versatile choice for upland birds, field use and clays.
• Barrel length is 28 inches, a balanced length for walking up game and swinging smoothly.
• The trigger is a single trigger, which fires both barrels in sequence from one trigger instead of two.
• The chambers are 3 inches, accepting both 2-3/4-inch and 3-inch 12 gauge shells.
• The barrels take thin-wall choke tubes, so the pattern can be changed to suit the target or game.
• The action is a boxlock break-action design with automatic ejectors that throw fired shells clear when the gun is opened.
• The safety is manual, a traditional shotgun control that the shooter engages and releases by hand.
• The sight is a brass front bead, a classic shotgun sight for quick, instinctive pointing.
• The receiver finish is true bone-charcoal case hardening, a traditional coloring that also adds surface hardness.
• The stock is Turkish walnut with a hand-rubbed oil finish and fine hand checkering at 24 lines per inch.
