William Powell Viscount

The Viscount side-by-side shotgun by William Powell epitomises the pinnacle of quality and balance, offering impeccable trigger pulls and the traditional charm of a true sidelock design.

Meticulously constructed, the Viscount represents the evolution of William Powell’s sidelock lineage. It features intricate rose and scroll engraving on the locks and underside of the action, complemented by the coin finish that gracefully contrasts with its walnut stock’s stunning figure.

While embracing tradition in appearance and handling, the Viscount seamlessly integrates modern engineering. Fixed chokes of ½ and ½ are standard (however, multi-chokes can be specified in the 12 and 20 bore variants), along with high-performance steel shot proofing, 3-inch chambers (the 16 bore model has 2 ¾” chambers) and chrome-lined barrels ensure its adaptability to contemporary high-performance loaded cartridges. This versatility guarantees effective shooting of both lead and steel shot for high-flying birds.

Elegance shines through in the Viscount’s fine details, such as beautifully carved tear-drops in the stock, coin-finished accents, an elongated trigger tang, and meticulously handcrafted chequering.

Each Viscount shotgun is tailor-made to the unique measurements of its owner (a complimentary gun fitting session is included in the price), and comes with a leather-covered ABS travel case to ensure safe transportation.

Backed by a 5-year warranty, the Viscount side-by-side shotgun captures the essence of traditional grace fused with contemporary precision, standing as a testament to both the past and the future of fine firearms craftsmanship.
