About the Zoli Z-Sport
The Zoli Z-Sport is a Boss-type over/under competition shotgun built by Italian gunmaker Antonio Zoli in Gardone Val Trompia. Part of the Z-Gun series, it is aimed at clay-target disciplines such as sporting clays and trap. It pairs a monolithic forged-steel receiver with a Boss-style locking bolt and silver-soldered barrels, and uses a detachable trigger group with titanium-coated components and self-lubricating springs. The gun is offered in flat-, medium- and high-rib configurations with a wide range of barrel lengths, interchangeable chokes and adjustable Turkish-walnut stocks.
Antonio Zoli traces its gunmaking roots in the Gardone Val Trompia valley back to 1945, and the Z-Sport is the company's flagship modern clay-target over/under, employing the Boss-pattern action long favoured by British best-gun makers.
