My son has an Italian Weatherby. I believe it is an Athena and is a 20 ga.. He doesn't do a lot of high volume shooting but it has held up ok for upland hunting. He did have to have the ejectors repaired. It's an attractive gun with a highly figured stock and he shoots it very well. I've shot targets with it a couple of times and liked the way it handled except that the barrels are stacked the wrong way.(wink)
