Handcrafted by Arrieta in Spain, it combined traditional English styling and balance with robust Basque sidelock mechanics. The factory standard specifications for the Zenith line include: Action & Mechanism Action Type: True 7-pin sidelock action (widely regarded as the strongest and most reliable configuration for a side-by-side). System Design: Holland & Holland pattern self-opening (assisted opening) system, designed to spring the gun open smoothly for fast reloading during heavy drives. Ejectors: Southgate-type automatic ejectors. Safety & Internals: Intercepting safety sears to prevent accidental discharge, automatic safety catch, and distinct cocking indicators. Triggers: Traditional double triggers, featuring an articulated front trigger to protect the shooter's finger from recoil bruising. Barrels & Proofing Construction: Chopper lump barrels with standard Spanish proof marks. Chambers: Typically 2¾ inch (70mm) chambers on standard models. Rib: Classic concave or swept game rib, designed for a clean, unobstructed sight picture. Choking: Typically built with fixed chokes (traditionally optimized at ¼ and ½ or ¼ and ¾ for standard game shooting). Steel Shot Note: Most original Arrieta-made Zenith models were proofed for standard lead or Standard Steel cartridges only. They are generally not stamped with the Fleur-de-Lys Superior/High-Performance Steel proof mark. Stock & Aesthetics Furniture: High-grade, hand-selected figured walnut stock (often Grade 4 or higher) finished with traditional hand-rubbed oil. Grip Type: Classic straight-hand stock with fine diamond hand-checkering. Forend: Slim, elegant Splinter-style forend with a push-button Anson release mechanism. Engraving: Deep-cut, hand-executed acanthus scroll engraving with a brush-polished or coin finish on the action plates
