Investarm

Founded in 1975 by the Salvinelli brothers, Investarm has been producing hunting rifles and historical weapon replicas for nearly 50 years. The company operates out of Marcheno (Brescia), Italy—where every rifle is built with a combination of traditional hand-finishing and modern CNC manufacturing.

Muzzle-Loading Rifles - Modern replicas of classic designs, including the famous Hawken rifle. These are built for serious use: designed to handle rough conditions and deliver reliable accuracy at distance. Investarm has been producing muzzle-loaders for over 45 years and supplies shooters worldwide.

Single-Barrel Shotguns (Models 70, 70 LS, 80, 80 LS) - Lightweight and reliable. Known for 40+ years in the hunting world for their quality-to-price ratio. Simple, efficient mechanics—you can field-strip every component without special tools.

Over-Under Shotguns (Models 100, 100L, 200, 200L) - Engineered for durability. Alloyed steels and thermal treatment create mechanical resistance and surface hardness. Selected wood minimizes recoil, and the classic hunting grip gives you solid control.

Investarm controls the entire production cycle internally—barrels, receivers, firing mechanisms, wood work. This means:

• •CNC Precision: Receiver blocks, monoblocks, top levers, and foregrip irons are computer-machined
• •Hand Assembly: Everything else is assembled and finished by hand
• •Flexible Production: Custom builds don't get sacrificed for volume
• •Quality Control: Modern machinery guarantees precision without losing the craftsmanship

"We've been producing shotguns for three generations. We know what our customers need, and we know how to deliver it." — Investarm

Receiver Finish - Muzzle-loaders: Investment-cast receivers that faithfully replicate historical designs. Some models use "tartaruga" finish—striped metal with burnishing effects that make each gun visually unique. - Single-barrel & Over-under: Laser-engraved receiver boxes. Base versions feature three horizontal cuts; "L" models include laser-engraved hunting scenes on both sides.

Wood Selection - Hand-selected for consistency, which reduces recoil impact. Classic hunting profiles with special checkering for grip security.

Investarm's muzzle-loading line includes replicas of the legendary Hawken rifle, originally made by Jacob and Samuel Hawken in St. Louis starting in 1815. The original Hawkens—hand-built one at a time—became famous for durability and long-range accuracy. Famous fur traders and mountain men like Jim Bridger, Kit Carson, and Jedediah Smith carried them. Investarm's modern Hawken replicas keep the original integrity while adding modern shooter features.

Investarm doesn't chase high-volume production. Instead:

• •Qualified personnel across design and manufacturing
• •Computerized work centers for consistency
• •Dedicated woodworking department
• •In-house component manufacturing for control
• •No outsourcing of critical processes
