About the Marocchi SI-12

The Marocchi SI-12 is a 12-gauge inertia-driven semi-automatic shotgun built by the Italian gunmaker Marocchi. Chambered for 3-inch magnum shells, it uses a recoil-inertia operating system to cycle a wide range of loads, from light 21-gram target cartridges up to heavy 36-gram hunting rounds. The gun carries a 2+1 capacity, a 7mm vented rib with a diamond-cut anti-glare finish, five interchangeable chokes, and a walnut stock, making it a versatile field and clay shotgun.

Marocchi Armi traces its roots to a gunmaking family active in Italy's Val Trompia (Brescia) region since the early 20th century, a district long famous for sporting shotgun manufacture.
