That's actually a very traditional, old-school sort of hunting piece. As opposed to production lines, that type are usually made by exceptionally distinguished manufacturers, such as the village Ferlach in Austria, which as a town and family bloodlines, from father to son, has been hand-crafting fine hunting weapons for hundreds of years. These types of shotguns and "drillings" are commonly owned by guys with castles and stuff, and depending on craftsman and options can run from $10,000 to $150,000, with a significant portion of them falling somewhere around $25,000.

Chiappa has a habit of taking those sorts of guns and putting them on a production line.

Quite a contrast to the Stoeger "Double Defense" tactical coach-gun.

Huh. And here I thought a triple-barrel was some sort of random gimmick. I learned something new.
