That's some very nice looking wood!  I've actually never heard of Fabarm so I'm off to do some research.

No stocking dealers in the US.  H&K imported and then I believe Sig Arms did too for a short bit.  There was talk that TriStar would start importing a few years ago but thet never happened (to my knowledge).  They're on the lines of Benelli.  Shooters Edge in Canada is where I get service/ parts if needed.  I have a Camo Lion, SC Competition Extra, (Black)Max Lion, and now this Gold Lion MK III ($670 Delivered).  I picked up the SCC for $400 as a parts gun from Gander Mtn; it needed one part which was missing…16 more bucks.

Wisdom is merely the realization of how little one knows, therefore I am wise.

Fabarm is Fabbrica Bresciana Armi in Brescia Italy.

The Italians make some great firearms, I have 2 Beretta 390's semi

auto's and a Fausti over under.

My other Fabarm pics aren't great but it's what I have w/ me.  The O/U Max Lion has been my meat gun for several years:

Ron, is the SC Competition a Trap or Sporting Clay model ?  Also

is that a carbon fiber coating on the metal I'm seeing ?

The one I have is set for 5 stand/ Sporting Clays.  I suppose I could raise the comb high enough it could be used for trap.  Either that or get a spare barrel (CDNN) and have a taller rib installed.

Yes, your eyes are working properly- carbon fiber finish on the receiver and barrel.  It's shoots and swings really well.
