Sweeeeeet. Or should I say “dolce?”
That’s what everyone said down at the Nosler Shooter’s Pro Shop when I took delivery on the next item to trick my
The Fausti sisters ... grazie!
truck, a Fausti Stefano DEA SL 20 ga. side by side. In a nutshell, this gun is a very clear reflection of the Fausti sisters: Giovanna, Barbara and Elena … lithe and elegant.
Well-balanced and light at 5-1/2 pounds, it’s a perfect chukar gun, if I’m willing to risk it. Case-colored receiver with gold accents (for maximum TV exposure!), the wood has lots of horizontal grain, then a stunning series of vertical striations that capture the eye long after you’ve put it in the case. I’ll be hunting with this gun on the show starting in the fall and you’ll see it on Wingshooting USA as soon as September. Then, stay tuned and learn how to win it … once I’ve broken it in, that is. I promise to be careful.
Get more information and specs here. (By the way, “DEA” is Italian for “goddess.” And this gun handles like one.)
Leave it to the Italians to make the case as stylish as the gun – streamlined and very Euro. Here are a few photos.

Scott, This confrims my idea about the trucks plates ” 2 piper ” ,What better way to show your love for the guns of choice.
Love it! Had to settle for another one you’ll like. Watch for it here.
Sliding down a bank and falling in the mud with a gun like that.
Instead of having them deliver it how about a winning a trip to go to Italy and pick it up.
Hah! I joke about “chukar guns” that you wouldn’t feel bad watching bounce off a cliff. This one, way different.
Wow!!! Super nice…and the shotgun is pretty nice, too. I have a couple of Fausti field grade O/U’s. They are very solid and I like them.
My philosophy on shotguns (and all guns for that matter) is that they are meant to be used/shot. Get them to the range and to the field. When it comes to shooting and hunting, more is better.
Sure would like to see that 20 in my gun safe sometime in the future!!!! 😉
Stay tuned for information on how to win it. I’m like you – guns are tools, built to do a job – hopefully, well.
That is a great looking gun! I am sure it is guaranteed not to miss! By the way, will the Fausti sisters personally deliver the gun to the contest winner?
The barrels are straight, so misses are “operator error.” I’ll see what the girls think about visiting our winner but don’t hold our breath.
