The Iver Johnson IJ600 28 gauge is an over/under shotgun scaled down from the maker’s 12 gauge, which gives it a light, quick-handling feel (Iver Johnson part no. IJ600-28). It carries 28-inch barrels with a vent rib on both the top and bottom barrel, a brass bead front sight and an engraved matte black chromed receiver. A single trigger with a barrel selector built into the safety lets you choose which barrel fires first, and a checkered walnut stock and forend finish the gun. Five internal threaded chokes cover everything from skeet to full-choke work, so one shotgun handles upland birds, clays and small-game days afield.
