Remington SPR 453 Spartan 12 Gauge Semi-Automatic Shotgun, 24" Barrel, 3 ½" Chamber
Built on the proven Baikal MP-153 platform, the Remington SPR 453 Spartan combines Russian durability with features tailored for the U.S. market. This gas-operated, self-regulating 12 gauge cycles anything from 2 ¾" target loads to 3 ½" magnum shells, making it a versatile choice for turkey hunters and all-around field use. Its short 2006–2008 import run adds collectability, while the 24" barrel, fiber-optic sights, and screw-in choke system deliver practical performance.

The SPR 453’s self-regulating gas system automatically adjusts to shell length and pressure, ensuring reliable cycling without manual tuning. This flexibility lets you move from light target loads to heavy 3 ½" turkey rounds without changing parts.
Its 24" carbon-steel barrel wears a ventilated rib and accepts standard screw-in chokes, giving you pattern control for different hunting scenarios. The barrel length keeps the overall package maneuverable in tight blinds and dense woods.
Bright fiber-optic sights—a ramped orange front and screw-adjustable green rear—offer fast target acquisition in low light. The sights, combined with the short barrel, make this shotgun well-suited for turkey and predator hunting where quick shots count.
The matte-black polymer stock and fore-end shrug off weather while the integral recoil pad and molded gripping panels provide solid shoulder feel and secure handling. A 14" length of pull fits most adult shooters comfortably.
Stamped “SPR 453 BAIKAL RUSSIA” and “SPARTAN by Remington,” this shotgun represents a brief collaboration between Remington and Izhevsk. Its limited U.S. availability and robust Russian design give it a unique spot in modern shotgun lineups.
