Description
Previously chosen by the Editors of Field and Stream Magazine as “Best of the Best” in Shotguns, the Tempio is designed to be a sleek and fast pointing shotgun in the field; the perfect companion for upland game hunters. Its low-profile receiver matched with a trim stock, classic Prince-of-Wales grip and Schnabel fore-end make the gun a perfect match for fast game birds. The Tempio features a contemporary style of “ornato” style scroll with tasteful gold accents. The action is further enhanced by a hand polished coin finish protected by our proprietary Invisalloy™ coating. Each Caesar Guerini game gun is carefully engineered to balance near the hinge point, distributing the weight evenly between the hands, which is the secret to a finely crafted shotgun. The Tempio also features a deluxe grade of Turkish walnut enhanced with a hand rubbed oil finish.
All Caesar Guerini field guns come with a velvet lined lockable hard case and five precision patterned flush chokes (CYL, IC, M, IM, F). A plastic choke case is also included.
