Description:
Piotti, Year 1980, 28 Gauge, 6lbs 1oz, SN#7505
F illi Piotti of Italy is amongst the top gunmakers in the world, a statement not contested by knowledgeable gun enthusiasts. The Piotti BSEE that we have here, sn7505 built by special order in 1980 is the company's BEST BOXLOCK gun. The standard features include a receiver that is machined from a solid billet of Boehler steel in Piotti's own plant, with an Anson and Deely design with highly polished and hand fit internal parts, finely struck chopper lump barrels with fixed chokes, and a perfectly hand fitted stock finely checkered. The optional features you will find on this gun include extra charges for 28-gauge gun, hinged front trigger, rose and scroll engraving, beavertail forend, diamond shaped grip, Gold Crest inlay in forend, and fine leather case. The cost for this gun ordered new will exceed $32,000! 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, 32lpi hand checkered wood...THIS IS PERFECTION YOU RARELY SEE. This gun was engraved by renowned Italian Master Engraver G. Ranetti, and is simple elegance defined. Weighing just 6lbs. and balanced perfectly on 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 27 9/16”" barrels choked SK/IM (.003/.017 constriction) and the gorgeous English style stock, it is a racy, sexy little bird gun that has seen little use. The diminutive and graceful beavertail forearm offers a bit of control for your lead hand. 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 and for less than any others presently offered for sale. 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 are field marks in the buttstock from light use. If you want the wood to be restored to new by our in-house artisans, just add $500 to the price and be prepared to wait about 12 weeks for the work to be completed. You cannot find a finer premium side x side for this price, and just in time to get warmed up during the summer months so you can enjoy this little Piotti during the upcoming bird season.
