Fausti Field-Grade 12 Gauge Side-by-Side, 28" Barrels, 3" Magnum, Fixed F/IM Chokes
This Italian-made Fausti Field-Grade 12 gauge delivers classic double-gun handling with the uncommon advantage of 3" magnum chambers. Built in Marcheno during Fausti’s early U.S. export period, it blends robust Purdey double under-lugs with tasteful 80-90 % scroll engraving on a coin-finished receiver. Fixed Full and Improved-Modified chokes, a right-hand cast-off walnut stock, and double mechanical triggers give the shooter a traditional yet highly capable field companion.

What’s Included
- Fausti Field-Grade 12 gauge side-by-side shotgun
The 28" blued steel barrels feature a solid, matted rib topped by a single brass bead and are chambered for 3" shells—unusual for European doubles of this era. Fixed Improved-Modified (right) and Full (left) chokes deliver versatile shot patterns without the need for screw-ins.
A coin-finished receiver displays extensive laser-cut scroll engraving across the fences, sidewalls, top lever, and trigger-guard bow, offering visual appeal without sacrificing durability. The Purdey under-lugs provide a proven, rock-solid lock-up.
The oil-finished walnut stock sports crisp checkering, a pistol grip, and a 14.75" length of pull, plus slight right-hand cast-off for natural shouldering. A hard plastic butt-plate with a hunter-and-dog medallion completes the classic field look.
Double mechanical triggers allow true barrel selection every time, while the manual tang safety automatically resets on opening for added peace of mind. The gun uses an extractor system to lift spent shells for quick removal without the extra complexity of ejectors.
Made in Brescia’s renowned gun-making valley, this Field-Grade exemplifies Fausti’s commitment to traditional craftsmanship combined with practical field features.
