The attention to detail in this firearm is gun art in its purest form.  From the metal-to-metal fit, wood-to-metal fit, nearly invisible screws, 28lpi hand checkered wood...THIS IS PERFECTION YOU RARELY SEE.   This gun was engraved by renowned engraver Castelli, and is simple elegance defined.  Weighing just 6lbs. 3oz. and balanced perfectly 3/8” ahead of the hinge pin, this is what most small-bore gunners consider the perfect weight and dynamics for easy carry and consistent shooting.  The handling dynamics of this gun match the artistry of its pieces.  Piotti guns handle like a dream.  With long, slender 29" barrels choked IC/IM and the highly figured English style stock, it is a racy, sexy bird gun that has seen little use.  Even though the gun is in excellent original condition, you can buy this gun today at a fraction of the price of a new gun.  Look at the photos and you will see that the checkering shows no wear or handling marks.  The barrels are tight as new on the breech face and hinge pin.  There is no carry wear on the receiver.  The gun has barely been used.  See the tables below for specifications.  There is only on 1/8” hairline mark anywhere on the wood.  You cannot find a finer premium side x side for this price, and just in time to get warmed up during the balance of the bird season.  This gun has all the best features, ie checkered butt, long barrels, best chokes, lighter weight than others offered for sale, as new condition, gorgeous wood, fancy back scalloped frame with hand filed sculpted action, perfect bores, and the most versatile 16ga. chambering.  “Shoots like a 12, carries like a 20” is an apt saying for this gun.  Thanks for looking!
