Gforce Arms GFLVR1228WBNZ Refuge 12 Gauge Lever 3" 4+1 28" Burnt Bronze Cerakote Vent Rib Barrel, Burnt Bronze Cerakote Aluminum Alloy Receiver, Fixed Turkish Walnut Stock

The Gforce Arms Refuge is a 12 gauge lever-action shotgun built for hunters who value both tradition and modern performance. This distinctive shotgun pairs a classic lever-action operation with contemporary materials and finishes, making it equally at home in a duck blind or on an upland hunt. With a 28-inch barrel, 3-inch chamber, and a 4+1 capacity, the Refuge delivers the handling and firepower serious shotgunners expect, backed by Turkish walnut furniture and a burned bronze Cerakote finish that stands up to the elements.

The Refuge's construction emphasizes durability without excess weight. The aluminum alloy receiver is finished in Cerakote burnt bronze and pairs with a 4140 steel barrel—also finished in the same tough, corrosion-resistant coating—to create a gun that looks as good as it handles. The vent rib barrel aids sight picture, while the Hi-Viz fiber optic front sight and brass mid-bead keep you on target in low light. Fixed Turkish walnut stock and forend provide a classic feel and secure grip, and the included rubber recoil pad helps tame 12 gauge recoil during long hunting days.

Versatility comes standard. The Refuge accepts both 2.75-inch and 3-inch shells, letting you tune your load to the task at hand. Three extended chokes (Cylinder, Modified, and Full—all in black) ship with the gun, and the Benelli Mobil choke threads mean upgrading is straightforward. Twin sling swivels are fitted front and rear, and a cross-bolt safety provides intuitive operation. At 7.1 pounds and 48 inches overall, it's maneuverable enough for thick cover yet substantial enough to handle all-day field use.
