Fanzoj Round-Action double rifle

Fanzoj Round-Action double rifle

― Austrian mechanical excellence meets timeless elegance ―


Our Fanzoj-designed double rifle is built on a strong triggerplate round action. Elegant and lightweight, our round action has beautiful distinct lines and superb handling dynamics.

We believe there is a gap in the market when it comes to premium-quality rifles for driven hunts that can be fitted with an extra pair of shotgun barrels. Our round action has the unique ability to become a full-fledged shotgun, with its mechanics, proportions, and balance designed to also suit a 20-gauge shotgun.

Craftsmanship at its finest.

The Triggerplate Round action - historic review

While people generally think of side-by-side guns as either sidelocks or boxlocks, there is a third type: the Triggerplate Round Action. Compared to the others it is a smaller and more elegant mechanism, and although trim many consider it the strongest action of all.

First introduced in Germany (by Meffert/Suhl) as early as the 1870s the credit for this mechanism goes to Scottish gunmakers for developing the idea further, eventually gaining worldwide recognition with it. In fact, the early MacNaughton guns, as well as those later refined by Dickson from the late 1880s on, are still considered to be some of the most elegant-looking and finest-handling shotguns ever made.

A triggerplate action is defined as one with its lock mechanism (hammers, sears, mainsprings, etc) mounted on the triggerplate, with all components placed on one center support-block integral with the trigger plate.

Advantages of Triggerplate actions

Triggerplate actions can be made smaller in size than conventional boxlocks actions, and very nicely rounded, because the action body is virtually solid, and does not require slots or cavities for internal mechanical parts as does a boxlock. For this reason they are also considered stronger actions.

Single shot rifles

― The challenge to take game with a single precise shot ―

The single shot stalking rifle - or “Kipplauf” - reflects our Alpine-European hunting tradition: The idea of being part of nature, of putting one’s skills and instincts to the test, and to take game with a single precise shot. This is hunting at its most elemental - and hunting at its finest.


Bolt Action Rifles

At Johann Fanzoj we build bolt-action rifles on the Mauser 98 action, time-proven to be the most reliable and safest bolt-action mechanism in the world, made from solid steel, and unsurpassed in over hundred years.


Three-barrelled masterpieces

― Suberb craftsmanship and design excellence ―

The idea of multi-barrelled guns is deeply rooted in our continental European hunting traditions and customs, particularly at Johann Fanzoj. Designing and crafting such models is, however, complicated and time consuming, and today only a handful of gunmakers still have the skill to build them. As a traditional maker of luxury hunting arms, we feel it important to preserve that concept and communicate the rarity and value of such mechanical masterpieces.

 

We have redesigned three particular multi-barrelled models to meet the requirements of a today’s sophisticated international clientele. Each is a precision tool - highly functional, with impeccable aesthetics -  and a collector’s item, appreciated by connoisseurs and hunters alike.
