Discover the World’s Leading Shotgun Brands at Thimbleby Gunroom
Gunroom Manager William Mole takes a closer look at the impressive selection of world-renowned shotgun brands available at the Thimbleby Gunroom. From premium Italian craftsmanship to innovative German engineering, discover the brands available to explore on your next visit.
Choosing your next shotgun is a personal decision. Every shooter has different preferences, whether it’s the fit, balance, weight, handling or finish. With so many high-quality shotgun brands available, finding the right gun can feel overwhelming, but understanding what suits your individual shooting style is the best place to start.
While finding a shotgun that feels right is essential, it’s equally important to consider the support behind the brand. Choosing a manufacturer backed by a trusted importer provides confidence through comprehensive warranties, reliable aftercare and expert support long after your purchase.
With that in mind, let’s take a closer look at some of the world-leading shotgun brands you can explore during your next visit to the Thimbleby Gunroom.
Zoli
We’re proud to be recognised as a Zoli Premium Dealer and have built a long-standing relationship with Edgar Brothers, the official UK importer and distributor of Zoli shotguns.
Zoli has earned its reputation through an unwavering commitment to quality, craftsmanship and innovation; values that remain at the heart of the company under Paolo Zoli’s leadership. William experienced this first-hand during a recent visit to the Zoli factory, where Paolo shared the passion, precision and expertise that go into every shotgun they produce.
From the entry-level Zoli One to the premium XLS Sideplate, every model benefits from advanced ballistic technology and meticulous manufacturing standards. Better still, you can experience the difference for yourself.
We have a selection of Zoli demonstration guns available to try here at the Shooting Ground, giving you the opportunity to experience their renowned handling characteristics and discover how their unique barrel manufacturing technology helps deliver exceptionally low perceived recoil.
Beretta
Celebrating an incredible 500 years of gunmaking this year, Beretta has earned its place as one of the most respected names in the shooting world. With centuries of experience behind the brand, Beretta continues to set the standard for quality, innovation and performance.
From the world-renowned Silver Pigeon, a favourite among both new and experienced shooters, to premium game guns such as the 687 EELL and competition flagships like the DT11, Beretta offers a shotgun for every discipline and level of experience.
Many models are available in a variety of configurations, including fixed or adjustable combs and left-handed options, ensuring there is a shotgun to suit every shooter. As one of the most sought-after shotgun brands in the UK, we always carry a strong selection of both new and used Beretta shotguns in the Gunroom.
Known for their slim actions and lively handling, Beretta shotguns offer a superb shooting experience straight from the shoulder. As you move through the range, each step introduces enhanced features, upgraded finishes and refined craftsmanship, making it easy to see why so many shooters choose to progress through the Beretta family.
Blaser
When it comes to German engineering, few names carry the same reputation as Blaser. Renowned for precision, innovation and performance, Blaser is a brand that continues to push boundaries within the shooting industry.
Their latest addition, the FBX, joins the already impressive F16 and F3 ranges, offering shooters even more choice across sporting disciplines.
Blaser’s distinctive matt-finish actions reflect the engineering excellence beneath the surface. For those looking for something a little more refined, the range also includes beautifully engraved, higher-grade models featuring a variety of intricate designs.
We’re proud to be one of the few shooting grounds in the UK to invest in a full fleet of Blaser demonstration guns. With the F16, F3 and FBX all available to try, you can experience the differences in balance, handling, aesthetics and performance before making your decision.
One of Blaser’s standout features is its adjustable barrel weighting system, allowing the gun’s balance to be fine-tuned to suit your individual shooting style. This level of customisation can make a real difference on the stand and helps shooters achieve the perfect feel from their shotgun.
Caesar Guerini & Fabarm
Imported into the UK by Anglo Italian Arms, Caesar Guerini and Fabarm have built an outstanding reputation for combining Italian craftsmanship with innovation, reliability and performance.
As part of the same group, both brands offer an extensive range of shotguns designed to suit a variety of shooting disciplines, preferences and budgets, while maintaining exceptional build quality.
One of the defining features of Caesar Guerini shotguns is their striking engraving. Many models showcase intricate designs featuring dragons, mythical creatures and contrasting gold and silver detailing, making them instantly recognisable. For those who prefer a more understated style, the range also includes beautifully engraved scrollwork and classic finishes that offer timeless elegance.
Innovation remains central to both brands, with new developments continually enhancing their ranges. The Caesar Guerini Invictus series is a perfect example, combining advanced engineering with durability and performance.
Backed by a standard 10-year mechanical warranty, these shotguns are built to provide reliability, confidence and enjoyment for many years of shooting.
