http://www.rfmarmi.itTheres a importer for them here in Canada. Intrigued by the idea of having a brand new base-model double with my choice of single or double triggers, extractors or ejectors, stock style, & barrel lengths to order, with screw-in chokes, for about $2200 CDN.

Isnt it, though? Have been thinking of one of those as the ideal grouse/whitetail opportunity gun for the thick mixed forest at our summer property. Grouse and deer both generally encountered at axe-throwing distances.

Extensive catalogo.
Camo SxS. Nothing exudes class like that.
Strictly lower, but class just the same.

The "paradox" barrel is on the woodcock gun--The Beccassier. Not for slugs, but pattern dispersal.
How about the gauge combination guns? Left barrel 12, right 20. Other interesting combinations guaranteed to be misfed the wrong ammo in the wrong barrel. Interesting concept, however. An elegant solution to a problem that didn't exist??? Gil

They have both the Becassier Paradox, and the Slug Paradox, for wild boar. The sites not explicit, at least in English, but based on my e-mails with the dealer, the Paradox barrels on those models arent on the same sides.
Im inexplicably happy to see someone offering Paradox barrels, let it be said.
The combination-gauge shotguns are beyond my reasoning.

I'm with GLS, a combination gauge gun would be an accident waiting to happen.

Looks like a good deal of the Italian to English translation didn't come out exactly the way they meant. All long arm categories are listed as Rifles.
Maybe the old Chinese to English restaurant menu translator has expanded to new markets. That or they followed recent US business practices and outsourced offshore/onshore work for 0.10 on the lira to Bangalore.
Anyway; The brief history of the firm that they give says that in 1957 Luciano Rota and his wife Maria Fausti....established the firm in the Val Trompia... It is safe to surmise that RFM stands for Rota/Fausti/(?)Manufacturing(?).
No doubt one of the previous generation Ladies of the Fausti clan. I seem to remember occasional older Rota/R.B. Rota guns showing up from time to time.
FWIW

I remember the Rotas. Not exactly Italy's finest offerings. I think they were the bottom feeders among a lot of very nice guns the late New England Arms used to import.
