Design and materials

The Instinct LX features an all-steel, extra-strong color-case receiver with the name Instinct LX engraved in gold on the right side, giving the receiver both durability and refined detail. A tang-mounted automatic safety doubles as a barrel selector for fast, intuitive changes when engaging different targets. The gold-plated trigger is more than cosmetic; it provides a clean, positive break that shooters expect in this class.

Stock, finish, and ergonomics

Its Prince of Wales style stock is cut from A-Grade satin walnut, showcasing tight, attractive grain that benefits from a satin oil finish to protect wood from weather while maintaining tactile warmth. Cut checkering on the slim forend and pistol grip gives secure hand purchase without adding bulk, supporting consistent swing and follow-through — useful traits for both clay targets and upland birds.

Performance and application

As an Over Under category shotgun, the Instinct LX balances presentation and handling. The slim forend and pistol grip pattern help the shotgun point naturally, and the automatic safety/barrel selector speeds transitions. While caliber specifics aren’t applicable here, this platform suits common 12 and 20 gauge configurations offered by the manufacturer, making it adaptable for sporting clays, skeet, and field work.
