The action is a single-shot break-action with an exposed hammer and a top-tang opening lever, giving straightforward operation and positive control. The receiver is marked "Champion," consistent with the model designation.
The 30 inch round steel barrel uses a fixed Full choke for constriction and is built with the barrel and lug forged in one piece. There is no rib, and the front sight is a brass bead for a clean sight picture.
Stock furniture includes a walnut pistol-grip buttstock and a slim splinter forend, capped by the Iver Johnson owl-logo buttplate. Length of pull measures 14.0 inches, offering a traditional field fit.
Markings are clear and informative: the barrel is stamped "12 GAUGE FULL CHOKE BARREL AND LUG FORGED IN ONE," and the bottom tang carries the "HFHX" stamp. Made in the United States, this Champion presents with a clean, shiny bore as noted, paired with honest exterior wear.
