Luckily, as part of our 2025 Shotgun Showcase, we've done the majority of the hard testing work for you. We had the privilege to shoot and test eight of the newest shotguns on the market, and we're excited to share our feedback.

Shotgun Showcase 2025: 8 New Shotguns for the Uplands


GForce Arms Lever12
12-gauge || Weight: 7-2

The GFORCE ARMS Lever12 draws attention, with a bronze Cerakote receiver, barrels and matching lever.

Browning Citori 825 Field
12-gauge || Weight: 7-4

The Citori line from Browning is time-tested and the proven king of upland over-unders.

Webley & Scott 920BC
20- & 28-gauge barrel set || Weight: 6-6

Marketed as the best value you'll find on a field gun combo in 20- and 28-gauge, the Webley & Scott 920BC is light and agile — perfectly equipped for upland birds.

Pointer Acrius Case Coloring
20-gauge || Weight: 7-4

Legacy's Pointer Acrius line has gained a reputation as some of the most affordable over-under shotguns on the market.

Weatherby 18i Limited
20-gauge || Weight: 6-0

The 18i Limited is the newest addition to the 18i line of inertia-operated semiautomatics from Weatherby.

RETAY Gordion Compact
20-gauge || Weight: 5-14

The RETAY brand was conceptualized to refine and perfect the design of inertia-operated shotguns, incorporating a flagship bolt system which keeps the bolt head from jarring out of the battery, eliminating a common type of misfire.

Spandau Arms Premier Field
20-gauge || Weight: 6-5

The Spandau Premier Field is neatly constructed with a brushed stainless receiver featuring a branded gold inlay and nice transitions between the metal and walnut.

CZ All Terrain 1012 G2
12-gauge || Weight: 6-8

The 1012 line was CZ's first inertia-operated semiautomatic, and CZ has improved upon the platform with the release of the 1012 G2.
