About the Fabarm Axis
The Fabarm Axis is an Italian over-and-under competition shotgun chambered in 12 gauge, built by FABARM of Brescia for sporting clays and trap disciplines. It pairs FABARM's Tribore HP barrel profile with a low-profile steel monobloc action, automatic ejectors, a single selective trigger and interchangeable choke tubes, and is typically supplied with 28-inch or 30-inch barrels and an adjustable walnut stock.
FABARM, the Fabbrica Bresciana Armi, has built shotguns in Italy's Brescia gunmaking district since 1900 and developed the Axis as a dedicated clay-target over-under around its proprietary Tribore HP barrel geometry.
