There's something about a side by side that a pump or autoloader just can't replicate, and the Heritage Badlander Field in 20 gauge captures that feeling without the vintage price tag. This is the extended 28 inch barrel version of the Badlander, built for swinging on birds and busting clays rather than riding in a stagecoach. The longer sighting plane smooths out your swing, and the brass bead up front gives you a clean reference point when a rooster flushes wild. Twin triggers give you instant barrel selection, and the tang-mounted two-position safety sits right where your thumb expects it.
Unlike the shorter coach gun models with fixed bores, this Badlander Field ships with four interchangeable Mobil choke tubes: Full, Improved Modified, Modified, and Improved Cylinder. That means one gun covers tight patterns for longer shots and open spreads for close-flushing quail or skeet. The 3 inch chambers digest everything from light 2 3/4 inch target loads to heavier hunting fodder, and the break-open action keeps things simple and reliable no matter what you feed it.
Heritage went with a matte black chrome treatment on the barrels and alloy steel receiver, which looks like a traditional oxide finish but holds up noticeably better against rain, sweat, and field grime. The Turkish walnut stock and fore-end wear a handsome dark stain with checkering for grip, and a rubber recoil pad takes the edge off a long day of shooting. These shotguns come out of Turkey, a country with a well-earned reputation for turning out nicely fitted doubles at working-man prices, and the wood-to-metal fit on these guns reflects that.
At just over seven pounds with a 44.85 inch overall length, this 20 gauge carries comfortably through a full day of upland hunting while still having enough weight between the hands to swing smoothly. If you've been wanting a classic double for the field without spending fine-gun money, this one earns its spot in the safe.
Yes, this 28 inch Field model ships with four Mobil pattern choke tubes: Full, Improved Modified, Modified, and Improved Cylinder. That's a big step up from the 18.5 inch coach gun versions, which have fixed bores. The included set covers everything from tight waterfowl-style patterns to open spreads for close work on clays and quail.
It has 3 inch chambers, so it will run both 2 3/4 inch and 3 inch 20 gauge shells. Light target loads, upland field loads, and heavier magnum hunting loads are all fair game. Break-action doubles like this tend to be very forgiving about ammo since there's no cycling to worry about.
Each trigger fires one barrel, front trigger for one and rear for the other. This lets you instantly pick which choke you fire first, which is handy when you've got a tight tube in one barrel and an open one in the other. It takes a little dry-fire practice if you're new to doubles, but most folks get the finger shuffle down quickly.
The Badlander is manufactured in Turkey and imported by Heritage Manufacturing, the same folks known for the Rough Rider revolvers. Turkish shotgun makers have built a strong reputation for solid fit and finish at reasonable prices, and reviewers have noted the Badlander's wood-to-metal fitting holds up to that standard.
