About
What it is, and why it matters
The Zoli XL Evo is a 12-gauge over-and-under break-action competition and sporting shotgun built by Italian gunmaker Antonio Zoli of Gardone Val Trompia. It is built on a monolithic forged-steel receiver with a widened action for improved dynamic balance and a Boss-type locking bolt, and uses a detachable trigger group with titanium-coated components, self-lubricating springs and an adjustable single inertial trigger with three positions. Chambered for 76 mm (3 inch) shells, it is offered with barrels from roughly 28 to 34 inches in flat, medium or high-rib configurations, six external interchangeable chokes and a Turkish walnut stock with an oil finish. A variable-weight system with interchangeable sideplates lets shooters tune balance and appearance across finishes including blued, matte blued, silver sand, greystone and color case hardened.
Antonio Zoli is one of the oldest gunmaking houses in Gardone Val Trompia, tracing its roots to the 16th century; the XL Evo widens the firm's competition action and adds a modular variable-weight system so clay shooters can retune the gun's balance without changing barrels.
Part of Antonio Zoli's competition/sporting range alongside the Z-Sport; stock configurations include adjustable sporting and trap stocks with Monte Carlo comb options. Fixed chokes available on request.

Trajectory
What the round does downrange
Solved from the muzzle figures and the bullet. The dashed rule is the effective range on the record, and the crosses are the steps the solver returned.
No load solved for this record yetThe flight path is computed from a cartridge and a bullet. This record has no ammunition filed against its chambering, so there is nothing to solve.
