I have stumbled across these shotguns & seem like good pieces. The ones I saw were made in Italy, O/U, fairly simple engraving & seemingly nice wood. But, are these nice guns or not? How do they shoot? :confused:

I shot a new Silma 12 ga once. The owner was shooting it for the first time as well and I did better than he did. Was shooting Wal-Mart bulk paks. A bit more felt recoil than my Mossy 500 but I thought it swung nice and shot true. It looked nice. Can't say how they hold up over the long run but they seemed well made. The owner is more of a collector than a shooter but he said they had a good reputation FWIW.

Do you say geezer in the states?

The few I saw seemed to be Beretta copies -- I was wondering how their build quality stacks up vs. ones from the established name.
