Badlands are found on every continent – except Antarctica – and are noted for their dry terrain, minimal vegetation, and often unique rock formations. While scenic, in the Old West, these weren’t the sort of place you’d want to head into unarmed.
Heritage Manufacturing has paid homage to the iconic vision of the Old West—including the pop culture trope—with its Heritage Badlander line of truly fantastic shotguns. Though it was once synonymous with the thunderous power of the 12-gauge side-by-side, it has been expanded with new 20- and .410-gauge models.
Based on the legendary Western side-by-side shotgun, the new Badlander is about authenticity with Turkish walnut stocks and alloy-steel 18.5-inch barrels but with a few modern touches, including a corrosion-resistant black chrome coating and a sturdy brass bead sight.
The Badlander’s tang-mounted two-position safety also ensures swift accessibility, and the twin triggers invite shooters to unleash the legendary firearm’s full potential and embody the essence of the Wild West. The Heritage Badlander series in 20 gauge and .410 calibers is now available at select retailers and through Heritage Manufacturing’s official website.
