This review of the Rock Island Armory Traditional Single Shot 12-gauge shotgun highlights its budget-friendly nature, around $100, and its utility for basic tasks. Manufactured by Derya Arms in Turkey and imported by RIA, it features a 20-inch barrel, 3-inch chamber, and comes with Full, Modified, and Cylinder chokes. While the heavy initial hammer pull and stiff action are noted, the trigger pull is surprisingly light. The shotgun demonstrates consistent patterning with birdshot and can be effective for deer hunting at 50-75 yards with slugs, though accuracy requires sight compensation.
This review provides an in-depth look at the Weatherby SA-08 20 gauge semi-automatic shotgun.
