What’s Included
- Antonio Zoli Silver Snipe 12 Gauge over/under shotgun
This Silver Snipe is built on a steel receiver finished in satin nickel and accented by factory scroll and rosette engraving. The tasteful metalwork gives the gun a refined look without sacrificing durability in the field.
The 30" nickel-chromium steel barrels are blued, ventilated-ribbed, and chambered for 3" shells. Fixed Full & Modified chokes provide proven patterns for upland birds or clays, and the single silver bead offers a clear sight picture.
A single, non-selective trigger simplifies operation, while the traditional break-action design ensures straightforward loading and unloading. Capacity is two rounds, standard for an over/under.
The walnut stock features a checkered pistol grip and matching beavertail forend, offering a secure hold and classic styling. Length of pull measures 14.25", delivering comfortable shoulder fit for most shooters.
Stamped “NITRO PROVED” and made in Italy, this discontinued model represents a period when Antonio Zoli shotguns earned a reputation for solid mechanics and elegant engraving.
