What is the Christian Hunter Line from Connecticut Shotgun Manufacturing Company. Who is Christian Hunter? Who makes the gun?
The website doesn't explain any of this, or not that I can find.
Has anyone seen or shot one?

Lee, it's just a line offered by CSMC. The Christian Hunter name is a fabrication and essentially means nothing other than a very snazzed-up A10 or RBL with a price tag to match. They are very nice, but mucho denero.

Although they were listed as being available in all that line of photos I didn't see a single one with two triggers. IF & When I spend that kind of money for a SxS shotgun I want to be able to shoot Both Barrels.

They're available, Miller. When you look at the 2018 lineup of Ford Super Duty trucks you don't see any color trucks in the photos but black. Doesn't mean you can't get one in another color. Just sayin'..........

I've handled the guns, and they are every bit as fine as the pics show. Gorgeous creations...........especially the .410.  SRH

Stan;
Just a bit of Jest. Yes it clearly stated that both Single & double triggers were available, but all the pics did show only the Single. I am of course also well aware that pulling that trigger twice will fire each barrel in succession.

Christian hunter was an engraver for Purdey if i am not mistaken. That is who the gun is named after.
It is a dressed up RBL.

Isn't a Fox D Grade simply a dressed up Fox A Grade? Seems to me the gun making community has a long history of making and selling the same design built to different levels of quality and ornamentation.

Seems to me the gun making community has a long history of making and selling the same design built to different levels of quality and ornamentation. True virtually all the gunmakers made guns to the same basic design with different levels of ornamentation & perhaps also to different levels of workmanship in the fitting. However a Fox A & a Fox D are both Fox designed & built guns. Personally I do not see any direct connection between Christian Hunter & RBL.

JR It is known that Tony is a Christian believer and when this line of shotguns were introduced I assumed and still assume that they were named to honor his Christian beliefs.

Tony is a Believer, but I thought Christian Hunter was a resurrected Belgian maker.
