Piotti Shotguns

OMG. Can you say Nirvana? Yes. They are renowned for making their own tools to make their own parts, all proprietary.

I don't have any doubts about the quality but I noticed going though some auction catalogs that they don't have very good resale value. In most cases your looking at under 50%.

John, I believe Piotti is at a time and place where Francotte was many years ago...I remember you could have picked up a nice smallbore Francotte for nothing...try that today!

Funny you should mention Francotte- I was looking at an old James Julia catalog(March 16,2015)this morning and came across a beautiful deep engraved Francotte 410 with 2 gold foxes after some quail. This has to be one of the best Francottes that I have seen. Noticed that it is pictured on the front cover of the catalog also.
