Weatherby has introduced three new full-featured semi-automatic shotguns.
The new Weatherby SA-08 Semi-Auto line of shotguns features a proven dual-valve system that allows shooters to quickly adapt the shotguns to accommodate the for widest load ranges. The interchangeable valves are easily accessed and changed.
The shotgun is available in three models, Upland, Youth and Synthetic. Both Upland and Youth feature oil-finished, walnut stocks. The Youth model has a scaled down stock for a proper fit with smaller shooters. The SA-08 Synthetic is similar in appearance and dimensions but features a black composite stock for added durability and affordability.
The Upland and Synthetic are available in either 12- or 20-gauge, and the Youth model is available in 20-gauge.
The SA-08’s alloy receiver reduces overall weight and improves the balance of the shotgun. The chrome-plated bolt extends bolt and receiver life by reducing friction and eases operation. The receivers also feature a unique drop-out trigger system. The trigger system can be removed and reassembled quickly for easy cleaning.
The Weatherby SA-08s have chrome-lined barrels to withstand years of high-volume shooting and reduce the effort necessary to keep the barrel clean. The shotguns’ barrels also feature lengthened forcing cones for improved patterns and less shooter fatigue. Additionally the shotguns have three (Improved Cylinder, Modified and Full) screw-in Integral Multi-Choke Systems that are compatible with the Briley thread pattern and allow shooters to tailor their shot patterns for specific hunting applications.
Upland and Youth models have an MSRP of $669. Synthetic has an MSRP of $619. For more information contact a local Weatherby dealer or Weatherby, Inc., 1605 Commerce Way, Paso Robles, Calif. 93446; (805) 227-2600. Or, visit www.weatherby.com.
