Boito Pump Action Shotgun

Boito is a prominent Brazilian firearms brand manufactured by E.R. Amantino & Cia Ltda., based in Veranópolis, Rio Grande do Sul. The brand's history dates back to 1921 when Italian immigrant João Boito began crafting handmade shotguns. In 1955, Elias Ruas Amantino joined the Boito family to establish formal serial production, leading to the creation of the current manufacturing entity.

While Boito operates as an independent Brazilian private company, its products are heavily integrated into global distribution networks. In the United States and other international markets, Boito shotguns are frequently marketed under the Stoeger brand. Stoeger is a subsidiary of Benelli, which is ultimately owned by the historic Italian firearms group Beretta Holding S.A. The Boito Pump (such as the BSA 5T 84 model) is a notable part of their catalog, often recognized as a licensed-produced clone of the Mossberg 500 design, maintaining the brand's reputation for providing utilitarian and affordable firearms.
