subject: Over Or Under Enthusiasts Will Enjoy The Latest Fausti Shotguns [print this page] People who enjoy over or under shotguns will be pleased with the performance of the latest models of Fausti shotguns. Started in 1948 by Stefano Fausti, a gunmaker from Brescia, Italy, the company is now run by his three daughters. They continue the tradition set by their father in creating shotguns that combine the latest in modern gun techniques with craftsmanship reminiscent of an Old World style.
It is the attention to detail that sets Fausti shotguns apart from their comparable counterparts. While the Faustis use the latest high-tech machinery to create their guns, they still invest in special craftsmen that use files and smoke lamps to hone each and every shotgun made. The custom detailing seen in the scrollwork on the metal parts is quite attractive and meshes well against the wood stock polished to a high sheen. There are several styles of shotguns that are drawing particular attention with game hunters as well as target shooting enthusiasts.
Fausti 12 Gauge Windsor Sporter Shotgun
This Fausti 12 gauge shotgun sports a 30 inch barrel and is designed with multi-chokes which provide some shooting versatility. The wood segues well with the metal work of the shotgun and the barrels are primarily constructed using the monobloc system. This system requires that the barrel tubes be constructed separately and machined from a single block of steel. This quality helps provide better alignment as well as a reduction in distortions in the barrel. Shooting clay pigeons would be the best use of this shotgun but hunting wild fowl is another optional use.
Fausti 12 Gauge Warwick Sporter Shotgun
Another popular version of the Fausti shotguns, the Warwick Sporter offers a 30 inch barrel along with designed multi-chokes. The best ammunition used for this shotgun is steel shot. If you are a clay pigeon shooter or go for field shooting, this gun is a good fit for you. One of the best design elements of this shotgun is the quad lock system. Trigger action is good and the safety and barrel selector works well. The stock design is simple and unadorned which lends itself to its affordable base price.
Fausti 12 gauge Pro-Comp Sporter Shotgun
Another of the Fausti shotguns to have a 30 inch barrel, this Pro-Comp Sporter also offers multi-chokes and accepts steel shot. Field and game shooters as well as clay pigeon sports shooters will find this shotgun well balanced with enough weight to easily absorb the recoil. The trigger is adjustable and the barrels are constructed using the monobloc method. The pistol grips offers a palm swell and the wood stock is made from a sturdy walnut.
While you cannot directly purchase Fausti Shotguns (or any other guns for that matter) through the internet in the U.K., you will be able to find these versatile Italian guns through local gun shops. With exceptional craftsmanship, you will surely find a Fausti product that best suits your shooting requirements.
