The Guerini single is the first single-purpose shotgun ever to win our Editor's Choice award, a win even more exceptional because we evaluate such guns by higher standards. The reason? A typical hunting arm may be used only a few weeks each year and will seldom be fired more than a few dozen times, but a trap gun will very likely be used on a weekly basis, firing hundreds or even thousands of rounds each year. Also, such guns are judged against other high-performance guns, raising the bar even further. The Guerini passed our toughest trials without faltering. From a performance standpoint, it ranks with the most sophisticated of today's trap guns, with multi­dimensional comb adjustments for precise individual fit and a high-bridge adjustable rib that can be fine-tuned for individual sighting preferences or the vagaries of different trap fields and shooting conditions.

What makes the Guerini stand out in any crowd of trap guns of similar performance is its beautiful wood, generous coverage of fine-line checkering and rich receiver ornamentation, enhanced by hand engraving that adds depth and character to its classic pattern. These and other refinements make it a joy to behold. One of the test team members summed up the new Guerini best: "There is nothing about this gun I don't like."
