Zoli Z Expedition

Zoli is one of those peripheral shotgun names that Americans hear but aren't that familiar with. That may change. In Europe Zoli is very well known. The Zolis can trace their clan's gunmakers back to the Italy of the 1490s. They have been continuously involved in gunmaking in Gardone since 1867. Antonio Zoli established the current company in 1945 as World War II ended. Though popular in Europe, Zoli's presence in the US market has been sporadic. At various times the company has produced everything from modest shotguns for Sears, Roebuck to replica arms to some sidelocks for Holland & Holland in the 1950s and '60s.
