Bryant Ridge's Analysis

The Tavana firm, thanks to the continuous researches and improvements carried out during the last years, is now able to produce these new overlapped type guns, which present unique solutions both in respect to technique and to safety. Their overlapped guns are of such a high quality that they can hold the first place among the national and foreign guns. All of their guns are subject to a fifth test carried out by the Government Authorities by using nitro compound powders. Also all barrels are of highly specialized production and, besides, an origin certificate for the steel employed accompanies each barrel. The quality and workmanship of their products are guaranteed by the fact that they have been suppliers for many years of barrels and other gun parts to almost all important firms in this field.

The TA Model is an over/under shotgun that comes with full side plates, a semi bar lock, and a 27 3/8" ventilated rib barrel with full chokes. It boasts a stunning nickel-plated engraved receiver, super chrome barrels, and a Greener cross-bolt. The round knob checkered buttstock and the checkered walnut forearm have a glossy finish, adding to the overall appeal of this shotgun.
