Hi Folks,
Brand new to this site but am reading with interest. I have just bought a Bass Pro Webley & Scott 712 and spoken extensively with Bass Pro buyer of these guns. It seems Webely & Scott contracted with Fausti to make the guns and some time into the production contract decide to cancel and go with a Turkish outfit.
Here's what I've found out:
Fausti guns:
Importer - Sporting Products LLC of Palm Beach, FL
30" Barrels
Fixed Chokes
MSRP $2499.88
Turkish guns:
Importer - Legacy Sports
28" Barrels
Interchangeable Chokes
MSRP:
12 Ga $3477
20 Ga $3477
28 Ga $3644
I bought the 712 (12 Ga) and have found it to be really nice. Fires well and patterns good. Has a lifetime warranty! One of the reasons I was in contact with Bass Pro's buyer is there was no warranty card. Apparently because of the way W&S handled the change of manufactures there is some question about implementing the warranty. Bass Pro is working out the details.
I'm not that experienced or any kind'a expert, but it is a nice gun. Good metal to wood fitting, very nice wood on the stock, nice engraving (laser I believe) and mounts well. I handle 4 different guns and they all mounted the same.
Just my opinion, but I'm please with the gun.
