Might want to recheck weight. I'm guessing 6 lbs. 13 oz.
Congrats on acquisition.
There appear to be some coincidental similarities to a gun labeled Weatherby and outsourced to... Fausti.
One does wonder who actually makes some of these brands, and how much of it is done in Italy.
HaHa, a 12 lb 13 oz gun would be a boat anchor!! You are correct 6 lb 13 oz.
I think the Weatherby uses different chokes than the Highlander, which could prove to be a problem, when I bought the gun there were only two chokes that came with it instead of the five that were supposed to be with it, fortunately they are improved cylinder, and modified, the two chokes I use most of the time, however they said they would get me the missing chokes, that might prove harder then they think, I can only find one source for those chokes, and they are $50.00 each.
I think most of the gun makers in Gardone V.T. source out work to specialty makers, from what I understand Gardone is a town full of cottage industries.
I have read that Fausti did make the Hylander but I have also read that they didn't.
All I know is I really like the gun, and it shoots where I point it.
Thanks
