About the Fabarm XLR Chesapeake
The Fabarm XLR Chesapeake is a gas-operated semi-automatic waterfowl shotgun chambered for 3-inch 12 gauge. It uses Fabarm's Pulse Piston gas system and TRIBORE HP barrel with a 6mm rib, and ships with a Cerakote Midnight Bronze receiver, a True Timber Strata camouflage All-Terrain Composite stock, and a set of INNER HP flush-fitting chokes plus one extended choke. Offered with 28-inch and 30-inch barrels in right- and left-handed configurations, it is aimed at wetland and blind hunting.
The Chesapeake takes its name from the Chesapeake Bay, one of North America's premier waterfowling regions, and wears True Timber Strata camo tuned for tidal-marsh duck and goose blinds.
