Our Assessment: The Winchester Model 12, known as the “Perfect Repeater,” is one of the most respected pump-action shotguns ever made. The "Heavy Duck Gun" variant was built specifically for waterfowl hunters who required a heavier shotgun to handle the power of 3” magnum shells, making it a preferred choice among sportsmen during the mid-20th century.

This example, manufactured in 1957, features a 30” solid rib barrel with a Full choke, which is ideal for long-range shooting. The stock is well-proportioned, offering excellent balance and control, making it a comfortable firearm for extended use in the field.

This shotgun is a great piece for collectors, hunters, and sporting shooters alike, this C&R-eligible Winchester Model 12 Heavy Duck Gun is a classic that remains highly desirable. Whether for display, nostalgic hunting trips, or as a prized addition to a Winchester collection, this is an excellent opportunity to own a fine example of a legendary shotgun.
