Heritage Badlander 12 Gauge 18.5 Inch 2 Round Side by Side Black Chrome Brown Wood

The Heritage Badlander is a compact, American-made 12 gauge side-by-side from Heritage Manufacturing that brings classic break-open action and modern materials to hunters and shooters who value simplicity and dependability, with an 18.5" black chrome barrel and alloy steel frame that keep the overall weight at a manageable 6.40 lbs for long walks in the field. With a two-round capacity and fixed Turkish walnut stock finished in brown, the Badlander is well suited to upland bird hunting, close-range brush hunting, and quick home defense use, while the bead front and rear sight layout aids fast target acquisition on flushing birds or reactive targets. The tang safety and traditional side-by-side barrel description deliver intuitive operation and safe carry, and the compact 34.85" overall length makes maneuvering in tight cover or around vehicles straightforward. As part of Heritage's line of side-by-side shotguns, the BL1218BK combines classic lines with black chrome corrosion resistance and a tactile walnut grip, and because this is a firearm an FFL transfer is required. If you want a reliable, easy-to-maintain 12 GA that shoots like the old-school guns but uses modern finishes and fit, the Badlander is a sensible choice.
