The Thunder Ranch Edition was produced in limited numbers and is now out of production, making examples in this condition sought-after by shooters and collectors alike. The receiver bears the Thunder Ranch logo, underscoring its special-run status.
An 18.5 inch cylinder-bore barrel pairs with a factory stand-off breacher muzzle device, providing straight-wall patterns and rapid transition between 2 3/4" and 3" loads. The red fiber-optic front bead offers quick target acquisition.
The polymer tri-rail forend accepts lights or other accessories; a Nightstick weaponlight is already installed, giving the shotgun turn-key low-light capability straight out of the box.
A 6-position collapsible stock sets length of pull at a compact 12.25 inches and incorporates a 5-shell carrier for on-board ammunition. The ambidextrous tang safety and rubber recoil pad with QD sling socket add practical handling touches.
Built in the USA, this pump-action maintains the 500-series reputation for durability while offering a distinctive Thunder Ranch appearance and feature set no longer available from the factory.
