GForce Arms GF5 Field Select Grade 12 GA 26" Shotgun

The GF5 is GForce Arms' over under field gun, and the Field Select Grade sits at the walnut stocked end of that line. Two barrels stacked vertically put two chokes and two loads at the ready with no magazine tube and no action to cycle, which is why the layout has held its ground with upland hunters and clay shooters for more than a century.

Break open guns are easy to check, easy to carry over a shoulder on a long walk, and easy to hand to a newer shooter. The GF5 keeps the classic profile with a walnut stock and forend rather than synthetic, and the line uses a single selective trigger so the shooter picks which barrel fires first. That matters in the field: an open choke goes first on a flushing bird and a tighter one follows it out. Capacity is two, and that is the whole idea. With no tube hanging under the barrels the gun stays short for its barrel length, and the weight sits between the hands where it helps a swing stay smooth on a crossing target instead of stalling halfway through. Reloading is a deliberate act done in the open rather than a press of a button, which is part of why clubs and hunting camps still start new shooters on one.
