Renegauge: Your All-Purpose 12 Gauge Shotgun
Everyone loves a good utilitarian shotgun. The workhorse of your gun safe; a piece of gear that feels just as much at home in a duck blind as it does on the clays range. If you’re looking to grab a new go-to all-purpose 12-gauge shotgun, may we suggest the Renegauge? Built with reliability and versatility in mind, it’s the perfect pick for any shotgun pursuit. Let’s dive into what makes the Renegauge a great shotgun line for a variety of different applications.
Adjustability and Reliability
Adjustability and reliability are the two core aspects of what makes the Renegauge the ultimate all-purpose 12-gauge shotgun. Most shotgun shooters will tell you that perfecting your shot starts with a shotgun that fits you right, and that’s where the Renegauge shines. It features a stock system similar to the original AccuFit system but optimized for adjustments shotgun shooters need. It has adjustable length of pull and comb height, a well as spaces for drop and cast to help you get your perfect fit for more accurate shooting.
An all-purpose 12-gauge shotgun needs to be able to run any load you throw at it, and that’s where the D.R.I.V gas system comes into play. Built to use just enough gas to cycle the action, while venting all excess gas through dual valves at the front of the gas block, the D.R.I.V system is key to helping the Renegauge run anything from low brass target loads to high brass waterfowl and pheasant loads. Plus, this system helps reduce recoil, so you can shoot all day and not feel beat up on the drive home.
There are a few other key features that make the Renegauge reliable, durable, and easy to use.
- Drilled and tapped receivers for adding optics for turkey hunting or defensive uses
- Beretta/Benelli Mobil choke system that’s compatible with a wide variety of aftermarket chokes.
- Straight fluted barrel with a melonite finish that’s durable for seasons of hard hunting.
- Oversized controls that are easy to manipulate.
- Stock rod buffer to help reducerecoil.
- Chrome plated reciprocating components, including the action bar, for enhanced durability and longevity.

The Do-it-all Renegauge
The Renegauge Field is the true workhorse in the Renegauge lineup, and it is the definition of an all-purpose 12-gauge shotgun. The Field model includes options for a 26” or 28” barrel, making it effective for a variety of bird hunting and clay shooting sports. The Renegauge Field also comes with a variety of choke tubes from Improved Cylinder to Extra Full, allowing you to adapt the Renegauge to a variety of different scenarios.
You can get the Renegauge Field in a couple of camo variations as well. The Renegauge Waterfowl model comes with Mossy Oak Shadow Blades Grass camo, and the Renegauge Prairie comes with TrueTimber Prairie camo and a sand cerakote finish on the receiver and barrel. Both models have the same feature set as the Renegauge Field, but let you show off a little more style or blend in better in the field.
If you’re needing more magazine capacity for the range or you’re planning to hunt a special season like the Light Goose Conservation Order, the Renegauge Field can also be outfitted with an extended magazine tube to increase your capacity to 9+1. This extension is perfect for those light goose seasons where an unplugged shotgun is allowed, or when you’re wanting to load up at the range and have some fun shooting multiple targets. You can find this magazine tube over at our Basecamp web store.

Renegauge Specialty Models
The Renegauge Field is a great all-purpose 12-gauge shotgun, but the Renegauge line includes several specifically designed shotguns for different usages. From turkeys to home defense, here are a few of the specialty Renegauge models we offer.
Renegauge Turkey
The Renegauge Turkey is a slightly more compact version of the Renegauge that’s excellent for maneuvering the turkey woods. Dressed in either Mossy Oak Bottomland or Obsession camo, the Renegauge Turkey features a 24” barrel and a drilled and tapped receiver that’s perfect for mounting a red dot or low power optic.

Renegauge Competition
For those shooting 3-gun competitions needing a performance shotgun, the Renegauge Competition fits the bill perfectly. It features a 24” barrel for maneuverability around barricades and through tight stages, and an extended magazine tube to give you a 9+1 capacity to stay loaded up for long stages. The Renegauge Competition also features a specialty extended Skeet 2 (Light Modified) choke tube for open patterns that help spread your pattern and knock down targets faster.

Renegauge Security
The rugged reliability of the Renegauge makes it the perfect semi-auto defensive shotgun. That’s where the Renegauge Security shines. It’s equipped with an 18.5” barrel for a compact profile to navigate tight spaces. It comes standard with ghost ring sights and a one-piece rail, so you can add an optic of your choice. Top it off with an extended magazine tube for a 6+1 capacity, and you have a shotgun that’s ready to protect at a moment’s notice.

It’s built for all-season versatility, so you can rely on it season after season. Having the right shotgun is key to getting out and enjoying yourself in the field.
