Wow, quite a price tag on that Lil' son of a gun!!!!
I don't know, performance wise someone can always come back and say the premier competition shotgun, the Perazzi, (What was it, 11 out of the 15 medal winners at the 2008 Olympics used a Perazzi) is of Italian heritage does that carry over to the Fabbri over/under, they were partners back when they first started Ivo and Daniele.
Whether mechanically overrated or not that Bulino engraving is unbelievable by anyone's standards. No 'Flying Turnips' on these sidelocks. (I believe that's the right term to apply to this type of engraving maybe some one can set me straight if I'm wrong.)
