Bettinsoli Combo 20/76 - 8x57JRS

Product detailed description

The heart of the weapon is the bass bullet with the breech and lock mechanism. The construction of the bolt is solved in a quite common way by two hooks placed side by side and one common wide wedge, which is controlled by a shadow crank. The design of the bolt and the lock is very widespread.It is a structural arrangement that is strong, reliable and durable. The percussion mechanism is of the Blitz type. The trigger controlling the percussion of the ball barrel is equipped with a French tensioner. The mechanical safety is located on the back of the neck of the stock. The barrel pin is split and interchangeable. An interesting practical detail is on the trigger guard, the outer edge of which is reinforced and rounded, thus preventing injury to the fingers during recoil of the weapon. The bascule, the bolt handle and the bow are decorated with fine machine engraving, etching and gilded animal motifs.The barrel bundle consists of a 12 or 20 calibre shotgun barrel, always with a chamber length of 76 mm. The shotgun barrel is equipped with an interchangeable breech, which is very unusual in shotguns and significantly increases the user level of this weapon. Personally, I consider the addition of an interchangeable barrel to the shotgun barrel to be a very significant benefit. The ball barrel is placed in the lower position in the bundle. Ball barrels are produced in the common calibers 7×65 R, 8×57JRS and 9,3×74R. The upper, shot barrel is fitted with a high rail up to the middle of the barrel length of the Battue type, which is used in muzzleloaders.The high rail allows fast and accurate aiming of thrown shots. The rail is fitted with a folding visor with narrow cutout for accurate shooting through the visor and the sight, which has a light red thread. The chambers are operated by one common extractor, which is the only reliable solution in terms of safe reloading. The stock is made of selected walnut wood with a satin finish. The shape of the stock is adapted to rapid firing and has the proportions of a shotgun stock. The stock has a carp-backed cheekpiece.The workmanship and precision of the fit of the parts is of an excellent standard with unmeasurable clearances. Evaluation of Dr.Ing.Jiří Haná in the magazine Myslivost 11/07: The Bettinsoli shotgun, with its technical solutions, belongs to the weapons that use simple, but reliable proven construction mechanisms, with excellent workmanship and high aesthetic value. In a way, it is a weapon that will satisfy even the most demanding user. It is priced at a very affordable level.
