For many shooters, the Impala Plus is a significant upgrade. While an inertia style action, it is hardly just another copy: stronger 6 lug bolt, stainless steel rails inside the alloy receiver, turnkey charging handle removal, etc. It is also come with 5 choke tubes, not mystery tubes but Invector Plus, an overbored barrel, a more generous safety than most, and the “Full” choke is steel rated. The recoil pad is also extremely generous, and it appears that left-handed shooters can have a safety swap without too much drama. It is a good compromise weight: light enough to carry, but not so light it will beat you up. It looks like anything 1 oz. 1250 fps and up and Bob's your Uncle.
It isn't just the best sub-$1000 inertia gun, it is the best sub-$1000 shotgun out there, and it is way under a grand as in $410 - $500 street price.”
Quite a bold statement for a gun few have heard of and virtually zero track record in the US. Do you agree with Mr Wakeman the Impala plus is the best shotgun under $1k you can buy?
So ….. you a have $999 dollars to spend. What’s the best shotgun you can buy?
Here‘s a few internet contenders to get you thinking.
