About the Zoli Kronos
The Zoli Kronos is an Italian over-and-under competition shotgun chambered in 12 gauge with 3-inch (76mm) chambers. Built by Antonio Zoli of Gardone Val Trompia, it is part of the company's Z-Gun family of clay-target guns and is offered for skeet, trap and sporting clays. It uses a boxlock action with a detachable, inertia-operated selective single trigger, an adjustable trigger blade for length of pull, a Turkish walnut stock with optional adjustable comb, and five interchangeable multi-chokes. Barrels are offered in 28, 30 and 32 inch lengths.
Antonio Zoli is one of the oldest gunmakers in Gardone Val Trompia, with roots traced to the 16th century and the modern company founded in 1945; the Kronos sits within its Z-Gun line of clay-target over-and-unders.
