Zoli model 3003 Combination Gun

edited October 2013 in Ask the Experts
I recently picked up an Angelo Zoli model #3003 combination over/under rifle/shotgun in 12 ga. over top 6.5x55mm Swede. It appears to be of pretty good quality but I am looking for more information on sight adjustments via the barrel screw, a manual for it and scope mounting bases. It shoots rather well with the fixed, non adjustable for elevation, rear and front open sights but scoping it is the only way to get best accuracy with my aging eyes. I'd appreciate any and all information on these areas mentioned. Thanks.

    The answers are yes, yes, yes. Mine is marked with the 3003 number inside close to the caliber markings. It has double triggers, thumb safety, 2 screws at the end of the barrels which appear to be adjustment screws to regulate the barrels and a notch in top of the receiver rib. This rib also has 3 slotted screws just forward of the notched area.
    There is one very much like it on GB for sale right now with lots of pictures, item # 370264886 in 20 ga./7x57R. This one has the exact mount I will need and it is a Valmet mount but there are no markings on it as to model numbers, etc. Any ideas on where I might find this Valmet mount or something else that will work?

    The Valmet Sight Mount is available on many different auction sites from time to time. I have one That I could put up for sale on this site but Price is High. It is the same one that fits their Military Type semi auto rifle. I have 3 Valmet 412's with over under set barrels. I have one Factory sight mount on one But also have Two sight mounts I made out of modified Burris Ring mounts that IMHO look MUCH better than
    The Bulky quick connect Factory Sight mount.Pictures on request.
    EDIT the mount you can use is on GunBroker now item 369474850

    Ok yes valmet mount is correct, is expensive cause it is all milled steel split ring design.
    Take a look at Burris mount offered.
    Send me email and I will go over how to regulate rifle barrel to coincide with shotgun barrel with slug. If you do not intend to shoot slug (which I think is very nice in o/u design)then simply buy scope (leupold3x9)
    Works nice, eye relief ok for Zoli and then sight in scope to rifle impact point.Two screws on barrel end are for course left/right bullet impact movement. Do you reload for rifle? Will need to do so to regulate to shot barrel slug.

    I do not plan to shoot it with any slugs in the shotgun barrel, just lead shot so my desire is to get it sighted in for the rifle barrel only and then regulate the shotgun barrel to pattern as tight as possible in line with the rifle sight settings or scope if I find a proper mount.
    I'd like to receive any and all information on regulating the barrels with one another and on how to modify the Burris mounts to use on this rifle. I did see the scope and Valmet quick release mount listed on GB but they want quite a sum of money for it. I figure the Bushnell trophy scope is worth very little so that makes the scope mount even more expensive.
    Please send to my e mail address: rcminnich@hotmail.com.
    Thanks again.

    I have picked up a Valmet scope mount and bases that will hopefully fit my Zoli combo gun. If all goes well I will have a scope mounted and sighted in for fall turkey season in a few weeks.
    Anyone have a great hand load suggestion for the 6.5x55 for turkey?
    Now I just need to figure out if I want to keep the Voere I just recently purchased or let it go. It is a great handling piece, nice and light, and in a great cal. combination....[:)]12 ga./.222 rem. but without a scope mounted it is useless to me.
    Thanks for all the help!

    6.5 for turkey. I would use your standard deer load with a full metal jacket bullet. Careful some states do not allow,this. Even as such a hit on bone causes splinter damage but better than turkey getting away. Even some soft point lbullets may be ok if they do not expand completely on turkey. Consider a fast solid bullet load or a medium speed soft point.
