Aficionados of Winchester® shotguns know well the Model 101. The styling and handling are legendary, the reliability never in question. Today's Model 101s are the full equal of the sought-after original with the added benefits of modern manufacturing techniques and an advanced low profile design for handling performance. One thing that isn't new is the high standard of quality you expect from a Winchester shotgun. And, like the greatest over and unders in history, they're made in Belgium.
