"Al, I think that I remember that the original "Weatherby" Zolis were made by a different "A. Zoli," Angelo Zoli. I agree that if you could get by the 1950ish stocks, they were well worth the price that was usually asked for them used. (I think Roy Weatherby would have put "fins" on his stocks if he could have figured out how....talk about "American style"!).
I remember it as Antonyo(?) Zoli. You more than likely recall the Hammered coach SXS they put out in the 70's. We sold a bunch of them in Fairbanks at that time. People wanted a cheap bear protection firearm.
