The ABC's of Shotguns

Some of you may have already seen many of the impressive numbers regarding our June 2013 Regional Auction.  Over 6,000 firearms in more than 2,700 lots are certainly numbers that indicate more people trust Rock Island Auction Company to sell their guns than any other auction house.  With this wonderful abundance of consignors we received a high number of shotguns.  That in mind, we are able to present to you "The ABC's of Shotguns"  Before you begin scrolling and clicking, you should know that many of the lots in our Regional Auctions contain several guns.  Since each picture is of one lot, there may be multiple guns in one photo.  If that is the case, I'll be sure to specify which firearm matches which letter of the alphabet.  Enjoy!

  1. Browning over Beretta or Benelli?

    Controversy incoming.

    1. I know. It was a rough choice for me as I shoot a Benelli myself. I'm just surprised that no one has yet given me a tough time about showing Ruger over a Remington. :)
