There's something special about a 28 gauge built on a true 28 gauge frame, and that's exactly what Fausti did with the Caledon. Instead of hanging small-bore barrels on a 20 gauge action, the Italian maker scales the receiver to the gauge, which is why this gun comes in right around 5.8 pounds. Pair that with 26 inch blued barrels and you get an over/under that points fast, carries all day without wearing out your shoulder, and feels lively in the hands the way a small bore should.
The heart of this shotgun is Fausti's patented Four Locks system, with four locking lugs machined into the receiver that give it solid vertical and horizontal lockup. The receiver itself starts as a single forged steel billet, and the internal components are machined from solid stock rather than cast, so the action stays tight through years of use. The trigger breaks fast and clean, and 2.75 inch chambers handle the full range of 28 gauge loads. Fixed Modified and Full chokes keep things simple and are a smart pairing for wild birds at real-world field distances, with the more open tube on the first shot and the tighter one for the follow-up.
Fausti didn't skimp on the visual side either. The stainless receiver wears deep laser-cut floral engraving with a golden partridge in flight on the underside, set off against blued barrels and a black trigger guard with the gold Fausti logo. The walnut stock features laser-enhanced grain and crisp checkering that dresses it up well beyond its class, and a metallic bead up front keeps the sight picture clean and traditional. A tang-mounted safety sits right where your thumb expects it.
This is a grouse and quail gun through and through, though it's just as happy breaking clays on a lazy Sunday. If you've been thinking about stepping into a genuine Italian small bore without going full bespoke, the Caledon makes a strong case for itself.
Yes. Fausti proportions the Caledon's receiver to each gauge up through 28 gauge, rather than putting small-bore barrels on a larger frame. That's why this gun weighs only about 5.8 pounds and balances the way a proper small bore should.
No, this model uses fixed Modified and Full chokes. That combination is a traditional field setup that covers most upland hunting distances well, with the Modified barrel for closer flushes and the Full for longer follow-up shots. It also means one less thing to fuss with in the field.
It's Fausti's patented lockup design featuring four locking lugs machined directly into the receiver. The lugs secure the barrels both vertically and horizontally, keeping the action tight and consistent over the long haul. Combined with a receiver machined from a single forged steel billet, it's a big part of why these guns hold up so well.
It handles both nicely. The 26 inch barrels and light weight make it a natural upland gun for grouse, quail and woodcock, but the crisp trigger and quick handling translate well to clays too. Serious high-volume clay work might favor longer barrels, but for casual rounds and skeet-style targets it's a lot of fun.
