Underdog Posted December 6, 2013 Report Share Posted December 6, 2013 I had a Zoli once. A bit heavy but built very good. U. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
welshwarrior Posted December 6, 2013 Report Share Posted December 6, 2013 One of the ground I coach at has bought 4 Zolis for coaching 2 12 bore Kronos and 2 20 bore not sure of the model. The Kronos have had some issues both top levers now have a lot of play in them and one stock has cracked at the hand, the blacking is wearing off the actions as well. They have fire around 6,000 21g cartridges. The 20s are not doing great either. Would I buy on not a chance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gordon R Posted December 8, 2013 Report Share Posted December 8, 2013 Having read welshwarrior's post, I wouldn't even consider one. I handled one in Tim McAvoys a couple of weeks before it got stolen. Looked okay, but longevity is my starting point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gordon R Posted December 8, 2013 Report Share Posted December 8, 2013 It could well have. Fingerprints might be smudged but "touch DNA" would possibly still be there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

welshwarrior Posted December 8, 2013 Report Share Posted December 8, 2013 Interesting.... Good to see a ground investing in coaching guns, shame they haven't lasted (how old?) Under warranty? 7 months old around 6000 cartridges waiting to hear back from Zoli but we doubt the stocks covered as most warranties do to cover the stock as they will say a novice dropped the gun. Managers hopeful it will be sorted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keeperchris Posted December 8, 2013 Author Report Share Posted December 8, 2013 Pretty mixed views then guys. Hmmmmm second thoughts! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hchris Posted December 8, 2013 Report Share Posted December 8, 2013 I would not recommend buying new loose to much money there about second hand. The build quality of my Zoli is superior to the 682 gold E it replaced Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HDAV Posted December 8, 2013 Report Share Posted December 8, 2013 Should have bought one when Fawcetts were knocking them out before edgars updated the pricing....... Wonder if i can find a bargain Gamba..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
retromlc Posted December 8, 2013 Report Share Posted December 8, 2013 I had one and it was very good, I had 32" barrels I prefer 30", guy who bought it loved it but was having problems with trigger but I found it perfect. I paid £2250 from faucetts, for their new cost now I'd buy a quality perazzi, oh I did Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

retromlc Posted December 9, 2013 Report Share Posted December 9, 2013 fawcetts are probably 7 years on the shelf,i would think improvements would have been introduced to the guns since then,they can't be rubbish guns as they are beginning to win iin the right hands Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
welshwarrior Posted December 9, 2013 Report Share Posted December 9, 2013 fawcetts are probably 7 years on the shelf,i would think improvements would have been introduced to the guns since then,they can't be rubbish guns as they are beginning to win iin the right hands They shoot lovely much better than an SP but cost a lot more. The grounds guns where brand new direct from the importer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
