By John M. Taylor

Weatherby, best known for their magnum big-game rifles, offers excellent shotguns like their Athena d'Italia III. Built in Italy to Weatherby's specifications, the d'Italia III has an oil-finished stock and fore end with 20 lines per inch checkering.

The chrome-plated sideplates feature engraved game-bird scenes accented with gold. Built in 12 and 20 gauges, these boxlock guns are sturdy and come in 26- and 28-inch barrels, all with screw-in chokes.

Weatherby's Turkish-made SA-08 semi-auto is an excellent choice. Its drop-out trigger design enables fast cleaning of this semi-auto, made to take the beating of an Argentine dove shoot.
