Not even close to being a "fine" gun but it is a double. I picked up this Italian import, a ROTA last week. They were imported by New England Arms, Kittery Point Maine in the early 2000's. It seems to handle and operate decently. It's an extractor gun chambered for 3 1/2", stamped 89mm. What made it unusual to me was it's 28" tubes and 8.5 pound weight. Scott measured it up for me and the bores are .770, choked .016 R and .018 L. There is 6 inches of choke taper which makes me think the chokes are designed for steel shot rather than cut barrels. It was also apparently special order as it has a 15" LOP. I am not sure who thought a light 10ga magnum was a good idea but I think the gun could be fun with the LOP cut back abotu an inch. If I like it I will have Mike Orlen install some choke tubes too. Might be nice on a clays course and should be a decent boat gun with light loads (1 3/8 ounce).
