I have just picked up at Pearson, the first Renato Gamba Daytona K13 Sporting in North America. The house in front of the plant is where Enrico' father Renato Gamba a Knight of Italy lives. It was Leonardo da Vinci's casting house!

All parts are forged and then cnc machined plus fitted to the firearm.

I have a 32 inch Sporting version with spare trigger group. It has 60 mm chokes made by Gemini who makes most of the Italian chokes. The barrels are made from Buehler steel, think Beretta SO the most expensive steel used for barrels! The forcing cones are LONG....... It is slightly overbore. The wood for me is so-so but very well finished in oil and very well fitted.

Assembling or replacing the trigger group is a chore as the tolerances are very tight. Precise alignement is a must otherwise nothing fits.

I shot 200 clays of which half were FITASC style. After a few problems with the left eye taking over after not shooting since early December, most targets were inkballs with IC. It was very easy to correct for wind deviate targets.

It is available through Dante Sport, ask Rudy or factory direct.

Very nice and Dante is a good shop..
 
I had my measurements for my Chapuis and was measured in Hungary last June. It fits perfectly. It shoots where you look. No need to keep the bead blurred, just look at the target!
 
It was complicated including selling Enrico my 1982 FIAT 124 Spider while I was in Hungary. I am still on good terms with Beretta, so it is not a parting. I will always recommend a Beretta over others in the mid and mid-high shotgun dollars. Who else has 50 engineers working on firearms and doing continuous testing.

When I start shooting my O/U in the spring, I usually have sore muscle under my arms as they are not used all winter. I shot over 200 rounds Saturday with the Gamba. My arms are not sore. It is a livelier shotgun compared to a DT10 or DT11. It is a tighter built shotgun than the Perazzi and as I have shot some P guns, it recoils better.
 
BTW, did anybody notice that the chokes are flat threaded? Anything that needs to be removed often, is flat threated. Briley when installing chokes on a shotgun that had no mobile chokes, uses flat threads. The worst choke to have is a fine thread. Dieder: " The engineers thought it was a good idea" after he nearly crosthreaded a Continental Parcours in 2000.
 
A few more pictures of today. It handles like a F1 on steroids. A wind deflected battu was no problem nor were bouncing rabbits! The insides have no tooling marks and are finished as the outside. Renato Gamba has had "Black" many years before Beretta or Perazzi came out with black! BTW there is no laser engraving, everything is done by hand. The gold is 24K.
