About the Marocchi iFirst

The Marocchi iFirst is an Italian 12-gauge semi-automatic shotgun and the entry-level model of Marocchi's self-loading range. It uses a recoil-driven inertia operating system with a rotating bolt head, a 3-inch (76mm) magnum chamber, and a lightweight 7075 T6 aluminum-alloy receiver, keeping weight around 2.9 kg with a 28-inch barrel. Marketed for its light handling, reliability, and value, it is offered with walnut or synthetic stocks and interchangeable choke tubes.

Marocchi, founded in Italy's Val Trompia gunmaking valley in 1922, positioned the iFirst as its no-frills gateway into Italian semi-auto shotgun ownership, leaning on the same recoil-driven inertia action that Benelli made famous rather than a gas system.

The full range is built on Marocchi's inertial system with a rotating bolt head. Standard models feed from a tubular magazine (typically 3+1) and ship with three interchangeable chokes; an optional MAXI90 extended choke set is available.
