The trigger group is easy to replace and service when needed and the trigger pulls are easy to maintain. The trigger group can be quickly removed from the solid action using a small wrench supplied with the gun. The Sporting and Skeet versions come with interchangeable choke tubes while the Olympic Trap and Universal Trap versions come with fixed chokes. As a result the gun is overall very stable but swift and a winner in competitions. The Kronos comes with the best ZOLI barrels which enhance ammunition performance, generate perfect shot patterns and limit the recoil to the absolute minimum ever experienced in competition guns so far. The Kronos comes in Trap, Sporting, Skeet and Elise versions with either black or silver receiver. Tolerances are very tight and there is no room for mistakes.
When building barrels in house, ZOLI only uses top quality materials and follows extremely precise production cycles under continuous skilled craftsmen's supervision. But the real strength of our new competition gun lies in its barrels. Combined with the lines and dimensions of our stock, the line of the trigger make the Kronos a very comfortable gun to mount, shoot and control. The most prestigious British guns, particularly the "Boss", were our source of inspiration when we designed our low profile action and trigger which is not only nice, but also extremely functional and ergonomic.
The Kronos comes with an action made from a solid piece of forged steel, a detachable trigger group, a Boss-type locking system and complete stock interchangeability. We are indeed very happy with the results as our new gun has become the perfect synthesis of balance, excellent mechanical features and flawless performance. The Kronos had to set new standards in terms of performance, reliability, wear, comfort, ergonomics and looks. Every small part had to be designed and studied carefully, checked and double-checked. They knew that nothing could be second class and left to chance in a gun meant for competition. It took our technical designers and engineers a long time, great passion and total dedication to design our new Kronos O/U shotgun. The bushing is also provided with vent holes, to allow any gas produced by the accidental perforation of the cartridge percussion cap to escape, without damage to the gun or injury to the user. The firing pin is guided by a specially made bushing that ensures its perfect operation. Zoli's percussion system has been designed to the highest safety standards that technology can offer. The detachable trigger mechanism also facilitates easy maintenance. High adjustment standards are therefore guaranteed even under prolonged heavy use. Because the trigger plate mechanism is completely independent from the action, it does not sustain the stress and strain that could affect the adjustment of the firing mechanism. Amongst these components, the new solid action is the most important and innovative. Such components are all made using forged alloy steel. The action, trigger plate and monoblock form the foundation of the gun. When shooting, the joint between barrel and action is maintained over a long period due to the axis pins being positioned in the lower part of the barrel itself and the bottom lug engaging with the action body. Such a design requires the employment of spark erosion techniques that allow extremely close tolerances. The central position of the locking system compared to the monoblock axis ensures maximum tightness. This consists of a split locking bolt that mates accurately with the locking lugs of the monoblock. Through its "Classic Revolution" ZOLI entered the new millennium with a better image and a stronger presence on all international markets.Īll guns are equipped with a particularly robust locking system. "Classic Revolution" is the name of a challenging, rigorous and uncompromised project ZOLI embraced a few years ago.
