Price point is inline with some Turkish guns. I don't understand "the wood is laser enhanced". It doesn't say laser checkering.

Is it made in Italy or Turkey? High grade wood....is it faux?
Socialism is almost the worst.

I think the "mineral lines" are done with a laser. They just do not look right.

Ken It looks like Cabela's faux Dicksons aks Disckinsons with enhanced wood. I doubt something like that can be made in Italy and sold here for $2000.

Anyone notice that bleached out spot of wood on the corner of the checkering on the left hand side?

I'd never pay that for an extractor .410 when you can get a Dickinson with ejectors and a true triggerplate action for hundreds less.

Another petit option would be Turkish SKBs which can be found like new second-hand hundreds below new gun retail. Frankly if I wanted garden vermin gun (.410 caliber) I would look for used B.C. Miroku "Winchester" Model ?. You know, tiny Model 12 with action scaled to .410. Another choice could be Winchester lever action .410 similar to Model 94 except for chambering. Vermin garden guns don't have to weigh 5lb to 5.5lb. it's not like you're going to carry it long distance to garden unless you own large vegetable farm.

Interesting way to add grain and contrast but you would think they would not choose such a course grained blank that clearly shows through the enhancement. On the plus side it does have the proper number of triggers. Ejectors I like but can live without it I have to. On the negative side the barrel to mono block joint looks like it was welded by a one eyed monkey.

I suppose it could be Italian finished or made. Techni Mec from Italy sells for about $1500. I don't suppose it makes a big difference both are Mediterranean countries one Christian one Muslim with rich histories that were once world empires.
