The Blaser F3 over/under is a fine choice for the traditionalist. This German-made shotgun's action is very shallow, giving it a sleek appearance that aligns the barrels with the shoulder, lessening the recoil.
The stocks are of select walnut with nice figure. Choose the "beavertail" fore-end over the Schnable for a good feel in the hands. Chambered for 3-inch magnums, with Briley steel-shot choke tubes the F3 is a good choice for the blind or pit. The triggers are adjustable, and 20-gauge barrels are now available making the F3 a versatile travel gun for waterfowl, upland birds or clays.
