SOLD ** ARRIETA Pheasant 803 (Model Phasiamus) Self-Opening Sidelock Ejector 20 Ga 2 ¾”, 2 barrels 26 1/2” (one with Briley chokes) - Mint
A BEST GUN:
ARRIETA’s Pheasant MODEL 803 is a hand-made Best Gun built with a Holland & Holland pattern 7-pin sidelocks. Any Arrieta model number 600 and above is a Best Gun. Try to find another Eibar double with an assisted opener; there are very few and priced higher accordingly. And try to find one with two sets of barrels – very few. And try to find one with both assisted opener and two sets of barrels, with original case – very rare.
The No. 1 barrels are choked in the classic tradition: IM (.025) and LM (.015) for those traditional hunts to savor that classic upland gamer with its original chokes; while the No. 2 set is fitted with 5 Briley Thinwall chokes F, IM, M, LM, IC. so you can take advantage of today’s state-of-the-art system of multiple chokes tailoring firepower to use. Both are 26 ½”.
The Model Number (803) indicates the Purdey pattern of hand-engraving.
Metal: Consists of Arrieta’s beautiful color case-hardened finished receiver with the finest Purdey-style rose and scroll hand-engraving by the Eibar master -- Eduardo Aramburu. It also features Holland & Holland Hand-Detachable sidelocks, Intercepting safety sears, Bushed strikers, Traditional double triggers (articulated front trigger), gas escape valves, auto-safety, H & H selective Southgate ejectors, chrome-lined chopper lump barrels with a solid “English Concave” rib, and H & H Assisted Opening.
This is serial number 27236.
Stock: AAA Turkish walnut buttstock and forearm are hand checkered in point pattern, 24 lpi – double border with drop points (tear drops), and checkered butt in the English style: straight-hand stock and splinter forearm with Anson push-button forearm release set in an engraved inlaid forearm tip escutcheon. The stock is inlaid with a gold oval ready for the owner’s initials and is cast off for the right hand. Measurements: 1 5/16 x 2 3/16 x 14 1/16" 5 lbs 12 oz.
Description and Condition:
The AAA Turkish Walnut has near-exhibition grade figure, great color and contrast and looks stunning and clean against Arrieta’s color case-hardened frame and deep blue barrels. This gun shows in new condition with 100% of the original factory case-colors…looks as if unfired. It is cased in its factory leather case with extra barrel and accessories.
Eibar Spain Guns:
Avelino Arrieta and his sons have stood out as premier gun makers located in the Eibar region of Spain, the Pantheon of Spanish gun makers. In this Basque country of northern Spain, Eibar gun makers have become world famous for the best value in “Best Gun” quality sidelock actions for side-by-side shotguns. In the last three decades, even London gun makers are carrying lines of Eibar guns. (It has been recently reported that Arrieta is the Eibar maker selected by both William Powel and Churchill to build 90%of their guns behind the scenes for quality and cost control.)
All of these Basque-made Best Guns are internally a copy of the Holland & Holland Royal, with H&H Southgate ejectors, H&H Assist Opening (except AyA #1), H&H Hand-detachable sidelocks, bushed strikers, and Chopper Lump barrels.
This Model 803 is like getting a copy of a Holland & Holland Royal but with Purdey engraving, the best of both worlds. And there is no better Eibar-made gun. This includes the top of the line Grulla RL Supreme, Garbi Armes 103B, and the recently discontinued Arrizabalaga, although all three of those guns are or were priced much higher.
The MSRP for the Model 803 is $14,320 in the Blue Book 37th Edition, add 10% ($1,432) for small gauges and another $2,195 to $3,750 for an extra barrel, depending on model .
Priced here to move, this is a new gun priced at $11,950 with extra barrel and leather case with accessories, now reduced to $8,950.00 I love this little gun, Reduced to $7,950 until Nov. 30, 2020
