Orvis periodically creates a custom shotgun offering with “Orvis Custom” labeling and some very nice, upgraded features. You will see these custom labeled guns made by various quality makers over the years. This gun was produced for Orvis by Arrieta of Spain. The Arrieta y CIA is one of the finest of the Spanish made shotguns produced in the true Basque traditions. Michael McIntosh praises the Arrieta in his book "Best Guns" and in fact carried his Arrieta afield as much as any other gun he owned. The Basque makers were famous for making quality "copies" of other guns, and this Arrieta is a Holland & Holland sidelock action produced to perfection. With chopper lump barrels, removable striker discs, articulated front trigger, stocked to the fences, drop points, beaded fences, sculpted frame, cocking indicators, deep chiseled, hand chiseled engraving, perfectly struck barrels, file cut rib, you have ALL OF THE BEST GUN FEATURES AT A FRACTION OF THE PRICE! This gun, sn37459 built in 1984 was special ordered by Orvis with the options of case colored receiver and skeleton buttplate. Weighing in at 5lbs. 13oz. and balanced on the hinge pin, she is just what you would expect of a fine sidelock 28ga. game gun…dynamic handling characteristics and lightning fast mounting for the fast flush of quail, grouse, woodcock, or the wild upland birds of the western plains. This gun will be a delight for all day walks over hill and dale. These guns ran over $6800 when new, and this gun has barely been carried or fired. You might as well save hundreds of dollars and buy this one. Cased in a nice canvas and leather case with accessories and Arrieta trade label worth over $450, the case adds a lot of value to a fine little shotgun like this small bore. Arrieta closed its doors several years ago and there are no more being made. You will not find a better value in a modern, Holland & Holland style sidelock small gauge gun. See the specifications below. She is choked Skeet/LM for the perfect bird gun behind fine dogs. Thanks for looking!
