2026 GRAND PRIZE: Kevin’s Poli Deluxe Quail

Valued at $40,000

The Kevin’s Poli Deluxe Quail is an exceptional 20-gauge over-and-under that combines refined Italian gunmaking with the unmistakable artistry of master engraver Stefano Pedretti. Handmade by Poli, this elegant field gun was created for the discerning sportsman who appreciates traditional craftsmanship, distinctive engraving, and responsive handling in equal measure.

The receiver has been individually hand engraved by Stefano Pedretti, whose deep, sculptural cutting gives the metalwork remarkable dimension and visual depth. The quail-inspired decoration is especially appropriate for a fine upland gun, celebrating the sporting traditions for which Kevin’s custom Poli shotguns are known. Rather than relying on mass-produced ornamentation, the engraving reflects the subtle variation and individuality found only in work executed by hand.

Elegant, mechanically sophisticated, and richly decorated, this Kevin’s Poli Deluxe Quail represents far more than a premium field shotgun. It is a highly individual sporting arm that brings together Poli’s handmade Italian construction, Stefano Pedretti’s celebrated engraving, and the advanced engineering of a removable drop-trigger system. It would be equally at home pursuing bobwhite over pointing dogs, displayed as part of a collection of fine European arms, or carried by a sportsman who values artistry without sacrificing field performance.
