Design and Materials

The Century III pairs a polished chrome bore for reduced fouling and smoother shot release with a matte black chrome exterior that resists wear in the field. The top ventilated rib and dedicated target sights give a clear sight plane, helping you track targets with minimal visual clutter. As a single shot in the Single Shot category, it emphasizes simplicity and reliability over complexity.

Ergonomics and Adjustability

Length of Pull and Fit

A standout feature is the extendable butt plate, allowing shooters to fine-tune the length of pull for an optimal hold and consistent cheek weld. That adjustability is particularly valuable across shooters of different sizes and for rapid fit changes during coached sessions.

Competition-Focused Components

Competition series choke tubes (F, IM, M) provide patterning flexibility for variable trap layouts and range conditions. The polished chrome interior improves shot release for denser, more uniform patterns—critical when a single barrel must perform round after round.

Applications and Pricing

Ideal for single and handicapped events, the SKB Century III 12 GA balances durable finishes and precision features without excess weight. Priced at $1499.99, it represents a competitive value for shooters seeking a ready-to-shoot trap platform backed by Skb Shotguns engineering.
