Default OK, I was a good boy for long enough!!!

Been wanting a 12ga SXS for a lot of years. I have been looking at a lot of stuff. This one struck me as a reasonable for what I wanted, and it fit me the same as my CZ 20ga., to the tee. I compromised on the triggers, it's an SST. It is 3", w/ejectors, english stock,29-7/8" bbls, with screw-in chokes, an oil finish, and it looks decent. Made in Italy, not a re-branded Turkish or Spanish gun. It is a Fabarm Classis model. It is a lower end, mid priced gun in the SXS market, halfway between a CZ and a Beretta 486, a few dollars more than the FAIR Iside (which has no engraving) or the Webley & Scott rebranded Turkish gun. It's a bit less than some used Beretta 471's I have seen. I also looked at Chapuis, a few use English guns. This one made me feel comfortable.

I really like that shotgun.

Beautiful wrist and belly on the stock. The wood figuring on the right side looks like water swirling over a sandy stream bottom. Very nice.
