About the Caesar Guerini Tempio

The Caesar Guerini Tempio is an Italian over/under break-action field shotgun built in Brescia. It pairs a low-profile boxlock receiver finished in nickel with the maker's proprietary Invisalloy protective coating and contemporary scroll engraving accented in gold. Chambered for 3-inch shells, it uses a single selective trigger and automatic ejectors, and is fitted with deluxe Turkish walnut, a Prince-of-Wales grip and a Schnabel fore-end. The Tempio is offered in 12, 20, and 28 gauge and .410 bore, supplied with a set of interchangeable flush choke tubes.

Caesar Guerini was founded in 2002 by brothers Antonio and Giorgio Guerini, members of a family with a long history of gunmaking in the Val Trompia valley near Brescia, the historic heart of Italian shotgun production.
