About
What it is, and why it matters
The Antonio Zoli Z-Bella is a 12-gauge over-and-under competition shotgun designed specifically for female shooters. Built on a monolithic forged-steel receiver with Boss-type locking and a detachable trigger group, it features an adjustable single inertial trigger, six interchangeable external chokes, and a Turkish walnut Lady Montecarlo stock shaped to fit the female anatomy. Offered in Sporting, Trap and Skeet configurations with barrel lengths from 71 to 86 cm, it pairs Italian competition engineering with refined finishes and optional Swarovski crystal embellishments.
Zoli built the Z-Bella around the female shooter rather than merely rebranding a men's gun, tailoring the Lady Montecarlo stock geometry, weight and grip to female anatomy and offering colored Swarovski crystal accents on the receiver.
Part of Antonio Zoli's competition over-and-under line alongside the Z-Sport and Kronos. Chamber is 76mm (3"). Available with right- or left-handed adjustable stock in 12 gauge only; receiver finishes include Blued, Matte Blued, Silver Sand, Greystone and Tortoiseshell.

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.
