Why Buy A Zoli

​I only sell competition guns I believe in and would use myself and that carry Core Values that include durability, reliability, US service and parts, and friendly professional support. Zoli's platform includes a host of details that are unique in creating a competition gun like it was designed not only for a competitor but by one.
 
I know third generation owner Paolo Zoli as my friend and have enjoyed visiting he and his Father at their manufacturing facility in Gardone, Italy where I have seen first-hand how they build their guns. I find Paolo to be not passionate but obsessed with testing and quality control, as his only interest is building the best competition gun. Boss style Receivers carved out of forged billets that yield tolerances and bearing surfaces that lock like a vault and provide the durability that serious competitors require because of today’s high round counts. Close a Z-Sport action and you will hear it. 
 
Ask William "Bubba Walton" not only a national champion but holder of the highest number of registered tournament birds in the NSCA why he chooses Zoli. He shoots in a year what the vast majority won’t in a lifetime - he shoots one Zoli Z-Sport. Unlike most gun makers barrel construction is done in house, meticulously set up for true silver solder exiting state of the art ovens that offer precise point of impact and regulation backed by the strongest guarantee in the business. 
 
Other shotgun makers rarely even discuss POI or worse-run from it. Zoli's are tested for patterning and POI - every single gun. Beautifully balanced in stocks with modern dimensions & hard catalyzed clear coats. Weight distribution that starts at hinge balance and easily altered through Bilanx and the EVO weight systems for each shooters unique desires. Easy to maintain, drop out triggers - expensive to produce but worth every penny to a competitor. Every single gun is tested for function before it leaves Italy and again by Norbert in the US before it comes to me. 
 
William Walton drove his to the podium as last year’s USA National Champion, as well as Bradd Kidd, National Champion; World English Sporting Champ and World FITASC Champion; and Nicolas Pacheco,World Olympic Trap & Skeet Junior Champion, Bob Davis, Ashley Hafley, and many other champions and gold medal shooters rely on Zoli.
 
A heritage of making premium guns for hundreds of years. Service & warranty right down the road from me here in Texas run by Jason Dallman & Norbert Haussmann, both names that loom large not just as heads of a gun company but as masters in shooting and craftsmanship. I work hand in hand with these gentlemen and their company, and I’m proud to represent Zoli.
