Saw one in a shop. Was 26" or 28", screw-in chokes. No model name, just said Siles 12ga 3" on the barrel. Also said Made in Italy. Average looking wood, silver receiver, some engraving, blued barrels and silver trigger. It was priced at $435. Excellent shape. Fit / finish looked a lot better than the Baikal I've been looking at. Action a bit stiff, shop owner said it just felt like it wasn't used much. He had little else to say besides "it's a nice gun, better than those other inexpensive imports". Couldn't tell me if they were still made, etc... I looked on all the usual internet selling-sites. Found a Siles 12ga/.222 combo, that was it. And nothing as far as manufacturer, etc...

I'm considering it for a first gun for skeet. Any information would be greatly appreciated! Thanks!
