Spandau S2 20 Gauge Semi-Auto Shotgun, 28in Barrel, Mossy Oak Bottomland

Description

There's a lot to like about a 20 gauge autoloader that weighs a hair over six pounds. The Spandau S2 from SDS Imports runs an inertia operating system, the same basic approach favored by hunters who would rather spend their time in the field than at the cleaning bench. Fewer moving parts, less gas fouling in the action, and the ability to digest a variety of loads without swapping pistons or fiddling with settings. The 3 inch chamber gives you room for heavier hunting loads when the situation calls for it, and the full Mossy Oak Bottomland treatment keeps the whole package hidden in timber and brush.

Why the S2 20 Gauge Earns Its Spot in the Truck

The 28 inch vent rib barrel gives this gun the smooth, deliberate swing that upland birds and passing waterfowl demand, and the red fiber optic front sight jumps out fast in low light when birds are working early or late. Spandau also put real thought into cold weather handling. The enlarged loading gate and enhanced lifter make topping off the magazine with gloves on far less of a chore, and the oversized charging handle and controls are easy to run when your hands are numb. A rubber recoil pad and the naturally soft-shooting 20 gauge chambering make this a pleasant gun for long days and newer hunters alike.

Setting Up Your Spandau S2

The threaded muzzle takes Benelli/Mobil pattern chokes, and cylinder, modified, and full tubes come in the box along with a wrench, so you can go from open patterns on clays to tight turkey-ready constrictions with the gear that ships with the gun. A drop and cast spacer kit lets you tune stock fit to your build, and the receiver comes drilled and tapped if you want to add an optic. The S2 is also compatible with Benelli M2 pattern accessories, which opens up a healthy aftermarket for stocks, extensions, and more. SDS backs it with a one year warranty plus a lifetime service plan, which is reassuring support for a working field gun.
