Our Assessment: This Redolfi EOS Light was manufactured in Italy in 2015 and is a light field gun chambered in 20 gauge. It features 30-inch barrels with 3-inch chambers and is threaded for the widely used Beretta Mobil choke system, giving the shooter excellent versatility for clay targets and upland game alike. The shotgun's alloy receiver keeps the weight to a low 5 pounds, 12 ounces, making it easy to carry afield while still providing the smooth swing and sighting plane of longer barrels. The combination of modern materials and traditional Italian craftsmanship results in a very practical shotgun.
Complementing its lightweight action is a handsome walnut stock and forend that lend warmth and classic styling to the gun. The EOS Light is perfectly suited to hunters and sporting clays enthusiasts who appreciate a responsive sub-gauge shotgun that can be carried comfortably all day without sacrificing balance or handling. With its Italian heritage, walnut furniture, and featherweight alloy construction, this Redolfi is a fine example of the modern upland shotgun.
