Wingman Posted December 30, 2016 Report Share Posted December 30, 2016 I had a silver kestrel sidelock which is made by Zabala Hermanos. Was a nice gun and reliable... I think there is more than one company using the Zabala name though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Royboy Posted December 30, 2016 Report Share Posted December 30, 2016 (edited) I got a brand new zabala sbs for my first gun in 1994,20 bore with 3 inch chambers and multi choke, my grandad thought it was a revaluation in technology with multi choke !! I wish I didn't sell it but I lost interest in shooting a bit in my late teens when I found lager !!!

MAB1954 Posted December 31, 2016 Report Share Posted December 31, 2016 I have a Zabala SxS single trigger ejector with steel proof, they are good guns. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
arjimlad Posted January 3, 2017 Report Share Posted January 3, 2017 I have a Bernardelli Merlin, it is a lightweight (6.5lbs) gun for walking up or a light driven day. I think it is Beretta quality for AYA prices. It is better finished than the AYA no 4 I used to have with better striking-off. Zabala is a budget brand. The Merlins weren't, when new - mine is a 1974 model. Hope this helps.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
