Ledespandau S2

Spandau Shotguns, a division of SDS Imports, has launched its Spandau S2 Shotgun—a 12-gauge made in four different configurations for turkey, waterfowl and even upland hunters.

This inertia-driven shotgun features an enlarged loading gate for easier loading with gloves on in the cold, damp conditions of a late-season duck blind. For easier accessory availability, not to mention exceptionally high quality, it accepts Benelli pattern extensions and choke tubes. A fiber-optic front site makes it easy to find point of aim, especially in first-light conditions when mallards start dumping in from on high, or the long beards start strutting their stuff.

Of the Spandau S2's four distinct configurations, two are designed specifically for turkey hunters with 24-inch barrels and two different finishes—Black and Realtree APX camouflage. For waterfowlers and upland hunters, for whom cramped maneuverability is less a concern than optimal muzzle velocity and a steady swing, 28-inch barrels are available in Black and Realtree Max7.

It would be hard to find another shotgun that checks the boxes quite so effectively for hunters. With finishes that run the gamut from basic black to low-profile camouflages; to barrel lengths that suit any environment; to even a selection of choke tubes from one of the top names in the business, the Spandau S2 is designed for the hunter who wants to go seamlessly from the box, to the range, to the field. What's more, it does all this at an extremely economical price point. For more information on any of these simple and effective scatterguns, visit spandauarms.comMSRP: $399.99-$499.99
