Chapuis Faisan Over/Under Shotguns Provide Upland Hunters with Exquisite Aesthetics and High Performance
ACCOKEEK, Md. (March 25, 2021) – French gun maker Chapuis delivers high performance in the field while boasting exquisite aesthetics with the Faisan Classic and Artisan over-and-under shotguns. The two shotguns infuse classic lines with modern technology to deliver a unique look of prestige. Chambered in 12, 20 and 28 gauge, both shotguns are now available to dealers and consumers.
“Pheasant hunting is one of the time-honored traditions of gentleman hunting,” said Chapuis Product Manager Tom Leoni. “Faisan is French for ‘pheasant,’ and these two shotguns honor the classical beauty associated with upland shotguns from the days of yore along with providing great in-field performance with modern technology. Anyone who goes afield with a Faisan will surely be proud to show it to others.”
Built from a single block of forged steel, the action of the Faisan shotguns provides maximum resistance and durability. The action’s low profile also allows the support hand to be very close to the bore axis for instinctive pointability under most hunting situations. Modern updates such as an automatic safety, ejectors and the convenience of current chokes round out the features of both guns.
The Faisan comes in two grades: Classic and Artisan. The Classic features a laser-engraved receiver and a AAA-grade satin walnut stock. The Artisan boasts 5A-grade walnut stock and hand-engraved receiver. Both models come with single trigger, 28-inch barrel, round action and five interchangeable flush choke tubes.
