Description
The world’s best shotguns can cost as much as a quarter of a million dollars and take years to make. The engraving alone can account for up to one-third of the price. The result is a shotgun that combines art and function in a way that few man-made objects can match. As wonderful and fascinating as these firearms are, they are little more than an unapproachable luxury item that is out of reach for the average hunter. What if a company could use modern technology to make a shotgun that had the same qualities? That is the concept behind the Ellipse Curve.
The Curve is based on Caesar Guerini’s Ellipse round body action. This type of action not only provides a clean uncluttered look, but also makes for a trim profile. It’s these trim lines that make the Curve a responsive and natural pointing bird gun. Combine responsive handling with Caesar Guerini’s reputation for reliability and you have the makings of a world-class shotgun. However, that is not the whole story with the Curve. The engraving is also groundbreaking in quality. The execution is of a level that has only recently become achievable through the most cutting edge technology. It is this combination of art and technology that allows the Curve to reach this level of craftsmanship at a fraction of the cost.
What makes a great Field Gun?
There are three things you want to take hunting with you; a well-trained dog, a good friend and a great shotgun… we can help you with the shotgun. A great bird gun has to become like an extension of your body. To accomplish this we make shotguns that are light and well balanced. Special care is taken in engineering the barrels to be as light and responsive as possible. On the other end of the shotgun we calibrate the weight of the stock by hollowing out the stock bolt hole, ensuring the gun is perfectly balanced.
To further enhance handling we utilize a trim stock design that features swept back open radius pistol grips that enhance the natural pointing characteristics of the shotgun while making the gun comfortable to carry during long days in the field. We take the time to perfectly fit a matching walnut butt plate to make the gun easy to mount without catching on your clothing. These features are focused on making our shotguns as functional as they are beautiful. That is what makes a great shotgun.
