The 712 Target is built with the price conscious target shooter in mind. This gun is built on the proven 712 action but features a 30 inch barrel with a 10mm stepped rib designed to pattern high for rising trap targets.� This model is ideal for beginner shooters or parents looking to outfit their FFA or high school trap shooter with their first gun. This model is very simple to operate and maintain, plus the gas operated system and the full size target stock makes recoil seem nonexistent.
