These upgraded sporting guns, or Specials, are available only to Cole's customers and represent outstanding quality and value in an upgraded sporting gun that is a privilege to own and shoot. The latest Cole Specials are 12 gauge with either 30- or 32-inch barrels. They're available either with a parallel (slightly higher comb) stock or a traditional sporting stock in beautiful Grade III or IV walnut finished in traditional hand- rubbed oil or enhanced Timberluxe. A palm- swell grip is featured for the right-handed shooter. The guns come with polished blue receivers and Beretta's state-of-the- art Optima HP barrels and choke tubes designed for lower recoil and improved patterns. A custom, leather-trimmed Italian-made Negrini case is included. Additional options include a case-color hardened receiver, and an action hand-engraved by Italian master engraver Stefano Pedretti.
