Key Features
Operating System
The Pup Scout operates on a reliable gas-operated semi-automatic system, designed for consistent cycling across various 12 gauge loads up to 3 inches. The system facilitates rapid follow-up shots and mitigates felt recoil, enhancing shooter control. The 5+1 round capacity provides sufficient immediate firepower for critical applications.
Ergonomics & Modularity
Construction features a durable metal upper receiver and forend, enhancing structural rigidity and component longevity. The aluminum receiver incorporates an integral Picatinny rail along its top surface, facilitating direct optic or auxiliary accessory mounting without requiring additional adapters. The forend also features Picatinny sections, allowing for modular attachment of illumination tools, laser designators, or vertical grips to optimize handling characteristics. Ambidextrous controls, including the magazine release, charging handle, and safety selector, enhance operational flexibility for both right and left-handed shooters, ensuring rapid manipulation under dynamic conditions. The gray synthetic stock incorporates an adjustable cheek riser, enabling precise sight picture alignment with integrated iron sights or mounted optics. A black polymer grip provides a secure and consistent interface for positive firearm control.
Sighting System
This model includes adjustable forward and rear sights, providing immediate and reliable target acquisition capability out of the box. The integrated top Picatinny rail allows for seamless integration of red dot sights, holographic sights, or other preferred optical systems, expanding its functional versatility.
Accessories
