Things are tough at the higher end, including yachts, top shelf firearms and pinacle hunting opportunities...

Perazzi with its name and reputation is going to wipe out all the other Italian high end guns. Its just a matter of time.

Perazzi's are great guns for what they are, they are literal bank vaults...in all respects.

Yeah, I've owned a Perazzi, liked it, but why would you want them to wipe out the competition?

Remember that Perazzi nearly went under sevral times. They have neither streamlined their product variations, manufacturing processes or instilled loyalty in their dealer network.
There is a lot (IMO) that Mauro has to do to get Perazzi on very solid ground.

I didnt know that about Perazzi. Still they have accomplished much in a very short period of time, earning name recognition throughout the world considering many of these Italian high end gunmakers have only been around a relatively short period of time.

Yeah, I've owned a Perazzi, liked it, but why would you want them to wipe out the competition? Maybe because they make top shelf competition shotguns? Just a SWAG here, but Perazzi, Piotti, Purdey-- Hallmarks as well known as: Rolex, Steinway, Ferrari-etc.. The very word competition means, as old Billy S. once so wisely wrote-- "Now cry havoc, and let slip the dogs of war"- You compete to win and to bury the opponents so far into the dust they can't rise up for the next event, right??
"The field is the touchstone of the man"..

FAMARS went bankrupt on October 2012, what a pity.

Not only would it be interesting and educational to read the whole story behind the demise of FAMARS but the financial state of the entire high end shotgun industry throughout the world. I thought that developing a better over/under would save that industry, obviously it didnt.
