What happens when the oldest firearms company in the world offers the design of the most traditional and elegant shotgun, the side by side, to Australian Industrial Designer Marc Newson?
A masterpiece is created.
The 486 by Marc Newson is a respectful re-interpretation of the traditional side by side with an innovative technological solution: the wood-bridge. Thanks to this original design, the safety catch is no longer a remote mechanism on the end of the receiver, but is now seamlessly set into the high-grade walnut, almost like a bridge, creating a beautiful element of distinction.
