We wanted a gun that would truly reflect our love of fall coverts, autumn foliage, wet gundogs, and the smell of wood smoke. The Woodlander is the shotgun you imagine in such a setting. It was created to be a classic upland game gun for tight cover and fast-flushing birds. The color case hardened action exudes an understated elegance. It is embellished with a single gold ruffed grouse executed in the Bulino style while nicely figured Turkish walnut featuring a traditional oil finish speaks of quality from a bygone era. The meticulously fitted wood butt plate allows for snag-free gun mounts and adds a custom look and feel. The Woodlander is also offered with an optional English straight stock. The lightweight barrels incorporate solid mid ribs to keep out debris, 7mm top rib in 12 gauge and 6mm top rib in sub gauges. If your priorities are traditional good looks and superior handling, then the Woodlander is the gun for you. 5 Chosen by the Editors of Field and Stream Magazine as “Best of the Best” in Shotguns, the Tempio is designed to be a sleek and fast pointing shotgun in the field, the perfect companion for upland game hunters. Its low-profile receiver matched with a trim stock, classic Prince-of-Wales grip and schnable fore-end make the gun a perfect match for fast game birds. An English style straight stock is an available option. Each Caesar Guerini game gun is carefully engineered to balance near the hinge point, distributing the weight evenly between the hands, which is the secret to a finely crafted shotgun. The receiver is embellished with full coverage scroll engraving featuring Bulino style gold Pheasant, Mallard, and Woodcock game scenes. The rich “French Grey” finish is our durable nickel alloy that makes the Tempio receiver resistant to rust and wear. The Tempio also features a deluxe grade of Turkish walnut enhanced with a hand rubbed oil finish. 6 The Tempio Light brings an added dimension to the popular Tempio Field gun. Featuring a forged action and fore-end assembly crafted from a high tech aluminum alloy; the Tempio Light combines almost featherweight lightness for carrying and handling ease with unmatched durability and function. Additionally, the stock incor- porates a hollowed out section to bring the light weight gun into perfect balance. The uniquely designed action features a hard anodized blued finish with durability and corrosion resistance qualities similar to those found on military spec. firearms. All wear points between the action and barrels are steel providing longevity similar to our all steel actions. Visually complementing the Tempio Light’s receiver is Bulino style engraving with gold game scenes accompanied by fine scroll work. The deluxe grade natural oil finished Turkish walnut and fine 26 lines-per-inch checkering further enhance the Tempio Light’s appearance. 7 Chosen as the best new shotgun by a panel of experts at Outdoor Life Magazine, the Magnus Light is truly an extraordinary shotgun. The Magnus Light was created to be the most attractive alloy frame over-and-under available. It weighs an astounding six pounds in twelve gauge and barely over five pounds in twenty, twenty-eight, and .410 gauges. Every detail is carefully considered to reduce weight and maintain balance. The frame and fore-end iron are machined from a solid forging of the best aircraft grade aluminum alloy. Durability is insured through the use of hardened steel at all high-wear points. To make the gun as light as possible and maintain perfect balance, we hollow the stock and craft the fore-end hardware from the same alloy as the receiver. If you hunt demanding terrain or just appreciate a light, responsive bird gun, the Magnus Light is the shotgun of choice. 8 The Magnus is designed to appeal to the discriminating hunter who appreciates a classic shotgun with timeless qualities. It features an elegantly sculpted sidelock style receiver with fine scroll engraving depicting Grouse, Quail, and Pheasant game scenes in gold against a richly colored case hardened finish. The unique sideplates have no pins or screws for a perfectly smooth receiver with uninterrupted engraving. The Magnus series receives a deluxe grade Turkish walnut stock with a traditional hand rubbed oil finish to enhance the highly figured grain. The meticu- lously fitted wood butt plate allows for snag-free gun mounts and adds a custom look and feel. The grip is in the Prince-of-Wales style with the length-of-pull being fourteen and one-half inches. In front of the receiver, the fore-end is a schnabel design and incorporates an Anson button latch identical to the most expensive British guns. 9 The Essex field gun is destined to become a modern classic, featuring highly detailed, traditional English style rose and scroll and bouquet engraving on the receiver, side plates and fore-end iron. An elegant hand polished coin finish com- plements the delicate engraving creating a functional work of art. Another upscale detail of the Essex is the addition of a solid and tapered top rib, lending elegance and strength to the already trim lines of a Guerini shotgun. Enhancing the beauty of the fine scroll engraving is a deluxe grade of Turkish walnut featuring precision cut 26 lines-per-inch checkering, matching wood butt plate, and a natural oil finish hand rubbed to a stunning sheen. The lightweight barrels have solid center ribs to keep out debris, 8-6 mm solid tapered top rib in 12 gauge and 7-5 mm solid tapered top rib in sub gauges, and a high luster deep blue finish. 10 TheThe Maxum Maxum is is a a true true collector collector grade grade shotgun, shotgun, featuring featuring deep deep relief relief floral floral scroll scroll hand hand finishedfinished engravingengraving onon thethe receiver,receiver, sideside plates,plates, andand forearmforearm assembly.assembly.
