What’s Included
- Rottweil 650 12 Gauge over/under shotgun
Manufactured in Italy by Gamba and branded by Rottweil (Dynamit Nobel), this 650 captures a sought-after production period that concluded U.S. importation by 1986. The receiver and chamber are correctly marked Rottweil 650, and the action is a break-open design with a top-tang safety and single trigger.
The 28-inch blued steel barrels carry a ventilated, matted rib for a clear sighting plane and end in fixed chokes: Full in the top barrel and Modified in the bottom. A brass front bead provides a straightforward sight reference for clays or field work.
Mechanically, the gun presents strong fundamentals: the barrel fit is tight, the ejectors are timed, the firing pins are sound, and the top lever shows life remaining on the locking lugs. The bores are excellent with a clean, mirror finish.
Stocked in walnut with a checkered pistol grip and a beavertail fore-end, the shotgun offers a 14.0-inch length of pull and a neutral grip. The steel receiver wears a coin finish with factory scroll and rosette engraving across the receiver, top lever, and tang, and the gun retains its factory Rottweil buttplate.
