A seamless profile

The traditional tail of the receiver has been lowered allowing the wood to separate the receiver and the safety like a wooden bridge over the steel. The opening lever is immediately recognizable and has been specially conceived to emphasize its independence from the rest of the shotgun. The 486 by Marc Newson inserts the trigger guard into a milled guide, without screws, maximizing the aesthetic value of the component. The leaner and streamlined forend emphasizes the slimness and lightness of the gun.

Exclusive engravings

Inspired by Asian art and the tradition of pheasant hunting, the appearance of the 486 by Marc Newson is characterized by a unique engraving, made with 5-axis laser technology, which allows you to engrave the entire surface of the action frame and enhance every single detail.

However, special customization options are also available, so as to add a unique touch to a firearm with an incomparable design.
