About the Zoli Z-Gun
The Zoli Z-Gun is a premium 12-gauge over-and-under break-action shotgun produced by Italian gunmaker Antonio Zoli of Gardone Val Trompia. Engineered primarily for clay-target disciplines, it is built around a forged stainless-steel monobloc action housing a Boss-type locking system and an easily extractable, adjustable detachable trigger group. The Z-Gun family offers silver-soldered barrels in lengths of 71, 75, 78 and 81 cm with a 76 mm (3 inch) chamber and interchangeable chokes, and forms the platform from which the later Z-Sport competition line was developed.
Antonio Zoli is one of the oldest gunmaking houses in Gardone Val Trompia, with roots tracing back to the 16th century; the modern firm has remained family-owned since the post-WWII era.
