The Sabatti Canardier is a classic Italian‑made side‑by‑side (SxS) 12 gauge shotgun, designed primarily for waterfowl hunting, field use, and traditional shooting. It combines Sabatti’s quality manufacturing with timeless double‑barrel simplicity.

Key Specifications

• Action: Anson & Deeley Boxlock side‑by‑side action — strong, reliable double‑barrel design.

• Gauge: 12 gauge smoothbore (standard hunting chamber).

• Barrel Length: Typically around 32 inches (81 cm) — a longer barrel helps with range and swing on birds.

• Sights: Brass or pearl bead front sight on the rib.

• Stock: Walnut stock with pistol grip — checkered and oil‑finished by hand for grip and aesthetics.

• Weight: Approximately 5.1 kg (≈11.2 lbs) — side‑by‑side guns are often heavier, helping absorb recoil.

• Barrel Finish: Chrome‑lined for durability and performance with various loads.

• Balance/Aesthetics: Equipped with a lead insert in the stock to improve balance and recoil absorption.
