Its an Armsan and ive used it to some success, I bought it for my wife and teenage daughter because it has a short stock and  no discernible recoil, yesterdays walk involved perhaps 2+ miles of walk before i head off into the hill and im happy to use the sling and leave the gun unloaded. Im assuming that it would be quite easy to make a lightweight removable sling that would slip over the barrels and stock of a conventional shotgun.. Im thinking that a gun between 5 1/2 and 6 1/4 lbs would be a nice weight, suited to about 25g load, this would be usable in all bores from 28-20-16-12 g.. It would also be nice to have an acceptable gun if i ever had a day on game or pigeon down south. at present i have a T Wild 3" chamber "wildfowler" that weighs nearly 8lb and a Fabarm 12g semi i use with steel.. At the moment Im favouring the Macnab 20g or similar as an all rounder.. heres a picture of the 28g from another thread

😍 A brace of woodcock!

 

I've been looking at those very guns. I suggested that I buy one for my wife (as she dislikes the recoil of her 20 bore ) and received only a raised eyebrow. Rumbled. They do seem to have extraordinary wood for a cheaper gun. Are they based on a beretta 300 series?

What’s so good about these Macnab shotguns then? 🤔

I dont know how good they are tbh made by Rizzini. the one im looking has the right LOP, weight and barrel length, looks nice, and i think will fit the bill for a decent general purpose shotgun.. living up here makes it difficult to try before you buy and i reckon if the comb or cast is out i could have an adjustable one fitted [ my fabarm has an adjustable comb and that fits well] if you ever get up this way you can have a try of it

It seems to be a really nice gun, well balanced, with very little recoil I use 24g home loads, although with a removable butt pad due to the short stock, one thing is, that it doesn't like Hull cartridges. the wood is excellent , but i dont know of any connection to Beretta ..Im sure your wife will love it..😉  

edit to say that the composite version has two stocks short and adult

They are really well made by B.Rizzini, the best of the Rizzini clan, handle well and the solid top rib, POW type stock, 29 inch barrels sets them off a treat. Also the same gun, branded as a B.Rizzini is double the price of a Macnab. What's not to like.
