What’s Included
- Savage Model 311 Series H 12 Gauge side-by-side shotgun
The twin 30" steel barrels are fitted with fixed Full and Modified chokes, offering a useful pattern spread for everything from upland birds to waterfowl within reasonable distances. Chambers are cut for 3" shells, letting the shooter choose standard 2 3/4" loads or heavier magnums without modification.
A blued steel receiver houses double, non-selective triggers, giving immediate access to either barrel. A manual tang safety sits intuitively under the thumb, and the passive extractor lifts spent shells for controlled removal—ideal when you want to retain hulls instead of scattering them.
The hardwood stock sports a semi-pistol-grip and beavertail fore-end for sure handling, while the 13.5" length of pull suits a wide range of shooters. Subtle factory machine scroll on the receiver flanks adds a touch of traditional styling without compromising the gun’s workhorse appeal.
A single brass bead front sight provides a clear reference on the solid rib, and the blued finish throughout resists glare in the field. Combined with its proven break-action design, this Model 311 Series H delivers dependable performance backed by decades of Savage engineering.
