Sporting Clays Focused Over/Under Shotgun
The “SG” designation on the Dickinson 212C28-SG indicates its sporting orientation. Sporting clays shooters require a shotgun with smooth, predictable handling and the ability to maintain consistent cheek weld across a wide variety of target presentations. The Monte Carlo stock raises the comb height, helping shooters achieve proper alignment whether they are shooting rising, crossing, or dropping targets. Combined with the 28-inch barrels, this configuration provides an ideal balance between quick handling and the longer sight radius preferred by many sporting clays competitors.
