BETTINSOLI X TRAIL SILVER 20G OVER AND UNDER SHOTGUN.

This is an OFFICIAL IMPORT Bettinsoli and actually designated a Junior Sport model. In reality the stock is more than long enough for many adults and ladies at a 13 7/8” pull.

(By all means save a little money  buying and supporting ‘grey imports’ through none official channels / dealers. However bear in mind they are NOT the same specification guns. NOT the same quality finish and NO back up warranty or spares should anything go wrong. So YOUR CALL!)

20G Bettinsoli X Trail Silver Over and Under, Single Selective Trigger, Box Lock, Ejector Shotgun.

EXCELLENT QUALITY.

Italian made shotguns with just about all the ‘bells and whistles’ available on a modern shotgun. Single Selective Gold Washed Trigger. 3” (75mm) Magnum Chambers with Jewel finish to the block. Ejectors. Multi Choke. Steel Shot Proof. There is not a lot more available other than assisted opening!
The Stock measures to a pull length of 13 7/8” (353mm). VERY nicely Straight Grained example right through the grip so strong exactly where needed. VERY nicely Straight Grained example. This has GOOD colour contrast as well as GREAT Tiger Stripe Highlights across most of its length. A VERY BONNY gun by any standard WITHOUT getting into the costs of graded Walnut.

30” (762mm) Multi Choke barrels, ventilated joint and ¼” (6mm) Game Rib. This model has a Plain Bright Finished Action with a simple and Deep, Heavy Cut Border. Hinge Pins are nicely detailed in Gothic Style Engraving. The Forend Iron and Latch Plate are finished with Scroll Engraving. Everything continues to the Trigger Guard, Top lever and Tang. Bottom action plate is inlayed with a Gold coloured Woodcock in flight and complimented by the gold washed trigger.

COMMENT.

Very much a case of ‘Less IS More’ as it looks an understated yet very stylish little gun.
As detailed, perfectly suitable for youth, a lady shot or even a full grown man. As with any shotgun its ALWAYS best to try it and see how well it does or does not fit. This 30” option weighs in at 7 Lbs dead (3.167 Kg).

IF this doesn’t tempt you by all means take a look at what else there is in stock. We can also order in for just about anything else.

THE STEEL SHOT DEBACLE?

 
FIRST THING:  Given lead is SO dangerous, can we ask about getting every lead water main replaced? After all, ANYONE with one of those still supplying water has zero choice. LETS PUT THAT QUESTION TO HEALTH AND SAFETY EXECUTIVE AS WELL AS THE GOVERNMENT.
That is every child’s grazed knee washed out with lead infested water (direct into their blood stream. Every glass of juice. Every cup of tea or coffee, Vegetables washed and cooked in the stuff. ALL that DELICIOUS Gravy. Cloths washed in it. Then we bath in the sodding lead infested stuff!
HOW DO THEY DEFEND THIS FACT?
THEN THERE ARE more and more Non-Toxic Shot alternatives being produced. WITH near matching performances to traditional lead and close to, if not matching pressures. Take a look at Horton Gunmakers for their own entry into this debacle of modern-day shooting. APPARENTLY so lethally deadly to shooters and game eaters? How is it every old lead water main supply pipe is not getting ripped out and replaced? To my mind it’s a DISGRACE that the shooting industry did not simply ask that one simple question. NO, they saw an excuse to charge a fortune and that mainly to the detriment of the quarry. Just my opinion …..for what its worth?
Anyway, take a look for yourself:
NOW, TRY and help speed up availability. I WILL suggest that YOU pass on details to everyone you know who shoots. Then ask whoever we buy from WHY they are not DEMANDING cartridges made in this material? Basically VOTE with your WALLET.
YES, it will take a little time for everything to filter through, but patience IS a virtue. It also allows everyone who wants to keep hold of their ‘old favourite’ for the rest of their lives. Even pass it on to the next generation and hopefully beyond!
On that note I AM looking into the possibility of stocking some direct from Steve at Hortons.                                                     RING for an update and keep checking the web site.
