Description
Key Features and Performance
- Design & Build: Built on a strengthened shotgun action, it is often described as feeling like a "T-34 tank". It features walnut furniture (often pale with a light lacquer) and hot hammer-forged, chrome-lined barrels.
- Calibers: Primarily available in .45-70 Government and 30-06 Springfield.
- Barrel Regulation: The MP-221 uses a unique jack-screw system on the floating right barrel, allowing users to regulate the barrels to shoot to the same point of impact, typically effective out to 75-100 yards.
- Sights: Features a windage-adjustable rear sight and a screw-type front sight for elevation adjustment.
- Recoil: Due to its light weight, recoil can be significant, especially with the 30-06 chambering.
Pros
- Affordability: It is among the most budget-friendly double rifles available.
- Functionality: Excellent for big game hunting in thick cover where quick follow-up shots are needed.
- Reliability: Simple, strong, and reliable design
