Hi, I'm seriously considering purchasing a Tempio Light for mostly upland game, but occasionally we do get into water fowl. Does anyone know if the Tempio is capable of shooting steel shot? The Italy sight says 'on request' and the USA sight makes no mention.
 
I have one in 12 ga and it is proofed for steel. It is a very light gun, so I wouldn't want to shoot heavy magnums through it all day, but I have definitely fired 3" steel shells when the opportunity for a duck or two arose during an upland hunt. It is a very fine shotgun. It balances nicely and weights just a hair over 6#. If you want to shoot more than a box or two of shells comfortably with one, you need to find 7/8 oz loads.
