The Kevin’s Poli Deluxe Quail is an exceptional 20-gauge over-and-under that combines refined Italian gunmaking with the unmistakable artistry of master engraver Stefano Pedretti. Handmade by Poli, this elegant field gun was created for the discerning sportsman who appreciates traditional craftsmanship, distinctive engraving, and responsive handling in equal measure.
The receiver has been individually hand engraved by Stefano Pedretti, whose deep, sculptural cutting gives the metalwork remarkable dimension and visual depth. The quail-inspired decoration is especially appropriate for a fine upland gun, celebrating the sporting traditions for which Kevin’s custom Poli shotguns are known. Rather than relying on mass-produced ornamentation, the engraving reflects the subtle variation and individuality found only in work executed by hand.
One of the shotgun’s most notable mechanical features is its removable drop-trigger system. The complete trigger group can be removed from the action, allowing convenient access for inspection, cleaning, or servicing. This sophisticated feature is traditionally associated with high-grade competition and bespoke sporting arms, adding both mechanical distinction and practical value to the Deluxe Quail.
Its 28-inch barrels provide a smooth, controlled swing while maintaining the quick responsiveness desired in an upland over-and-under. The 3-inch chambers offer versatility across a broad range of 20-gauge field loads. The top barrel is choked Modified, while the bottom barrel is Improved Cylinder, creating a useful progression for the first close-flushing bird and a longer follow-up opportunity.
At approximately 6.85 pounds, the Deluxe Quail has enough weight to promote a fluid swing and absorb recoil while remaining comfortable to carry throughout a day in the field. The generous 15-inch length of pull further contributes to its composed handling characteristics and will be especially appealing to shooters requiring a longer stock dimension.
Elegant, mechanically sophisticated, and richly decorated, this Kevin’s Poli Deluxe Quail represents far more than a premium field shotgun. It is a highly individual sporting arm that brings together Poli’s handmade Italian construction, Stefano Pedretti’s celebrated engraving, and the advanced engineering of a removable drop-trigger system. It would be equally at home pursuing bobwhite over pointing dogs, displayed as part of a collection of fine European arms, or carried by a sportsman who values artistry without sacrificing field performance.
