ESSENCIA Sidelock Side-by-Side Shotgun

About the Essencia Sidelock Side-by-Side Shotgun

The Essencia series’ sidelock shotguns are a highlight for traditionalists, internationally successful. With their pure elegance, first-class craftsmanship and proven technology, these masterpieces of the art of gunmaking fall into the same category as the highly coveted “best” English or Italian guns.

The genuine back action sidelocks and triggers are gold plated, while the color-case hardened receiver is engraved with English scrolls. The elegant round body action and the Holland & Holland style ejectors ensure responsiveness and easy handling. The Essencia is available as side-by-side shotgun or single shot rifle.
