new (to me) Antonio Zoli O/U
Hello. I am new to the forum and really enjoy all of the information posted here.

I recently acquired a like new Antonio Zoli O/U rifle in 9.3x74R in a trade. It has very nice wood, ejectors, and has engraving of an elk on one side of the receiver, a ram on the other and a deer on the bottom. It has double triggers and the front is a set trigger. I used the search engine here and saw mixed reviews. I contacted the zoli usa rep by phone and email and have yet to receive a response. I don't have very much in the rifle so I figured I would take a chance on it.

Does anyone know where I can locate an owner's manual or a scope mount? I would appreciate any info on the rifle.

Thanks.........Larry

I fired the rifle today using Norma 286gr factory loads. At 50 yard the bottom barrel is 2" above the point of aim and the top barrel is 5" above that. So, it is perfect for windage but the barrels are 5" apart at 50 yards. I didn't try it at any further distance as 2 guys showed up to shoot their Barrett 50's (set up on the bench beside me) so I called it a day.

SF, first thing is to see whether you can adjust the POI of the lower barrel. I have a Tikka 512SD and I can do that. the adjustment may be either at the muzzle or half way down between the barrels (remove the forend). If not, then you will have to reload for it. I love my 9.3x74R O/U!

Nelson is the go-to guy for Zoli O&U's


Anyone who claims the 30-06 is ineffective has either not tried one, or is unwittingly commenting on their own marksmanship

There's an article by Phil Shoemaker on the Zoli in the latest "Rifle" magazine.
