About the Zoli Columbus

The Zoli Columbus is an Italian over-under boxlock shotgun built by Antonio Zoli on a monolithic steel receiver with a Boss-type locking bolt and a removable triggerplate action. Chambered for 3-inch shells and offered in 12, 20, 28 and .410 bore, it pairs silver-soldered barrels and five interchangeable chokes with a selective single trigger, automatic ejectors, a Turkish walnut stock and refined game-scene engraving, positioning it as a refined but affordable field and game gun.

Antonio Zoli traces its gunmaking lineage in Gardone Val Trompia back to 1537, and named this over-under after the explorer Christopher Columbus, in keeping with the firm's tradition of giving its hunting guns evocative names.
