![]() They went out of business in 1986, sold the name to DiArms.įelix Sarasqueta made the cheapest, and JJ Sarasqueta a fairly wide range but not quite up to VS quality. Victor Sarasqueta made the best quality guns, very reliable and considered by some to be the best Spanish shotguns. The top grades like the 12E cost roughly 3 times as much, depending on condition of course, and will have very fancy wood and elaborate engraving. The 6E is a somewhat higher grade than the 203E. I'm not sure what the EXP means except the importer may have thought that E stood for Express. On VS shotguns a plain model number indicate extractors, a number with an E, like 203E, indicates auto ejectors. Victor Sarasqueta was the gun maker for King Carlos of Spain, he made sidelock guns based on the Holland and Holland design, when for sale by Sovrapposti on. If you aren't shooting thousands of shells then a light weight is OK. I'm not sure what the weight ranges are and it does vary with length but 1600 grams is heavy and 1200 pretty light for a 12 ga. The Spanish made shotguns in several weights depending on the type of shooting, heavy for trap, to light for upland rough shooting. The grm, gmos or grams is the barrel weight. (I bought a 5 pin sidelock because it uses coil, not leaf springs and is much more easily repaired) ![]() ![]() They look like 7 pin sidelocks, considered the "best" action.
