About the Zoli Z-Expedition
The Zoli Z-Expedition is a premium over-and-under break-action hunting shotgun built by Italian gunmaker Antonio Zoli of Gardone Val Trompia. Offered in 12, 20, 28 gauge and .410 bore with 76 mm (3 inch) chambers, it is built on a monolithic forged-steel receiver with a Boss-type locking bolt and a detachable trigger group using titanium-coated components. It carries silver-soldered barrels in lengths from roughly 24 to 32 inches, an oil-finished Turkish walnut stock, five interchangeable flush chokes, and a single selective inertial trigger. Marketed for demanding field hunting, the Z-Expedition is finished with a silver antiqued receiver and hand engravings featuring gilded game-bird motifs.
Antonio Zoli is one of the oldest gunmaking houses in Gardone Val Trompia, with roots dating back to the 16th century; the Z-Expedition shares the Boss-type action and detachable trigger group of the firm's Z-Gun competition line, reworked for the field.
