Rizzini

Rizzini is a family-led Italian shotgun maker based in the Brescia and Val Trompia gunmaking region, long known for its concentration of skilled craftsmen and fine sporting arms. The company focuses on premium over-under and side-by-side shotguns along with combination guns and double rifles for demanding hunters and clay target shooters. From award-winning BR110 field and sporting models to high-grade S2000 and bespoke doubles, Rizzini firearms are valued for elegant lines, balance, and consistent performance in the field and on the course.

Shotgun Fit, Balance, And Accuracy

Rizzini builds its shotguns around fit and pointability so the gun moves with the shooter instead of fighting them. Low-profile actions, carefully profiled receivers, and Turkish walnut stocks with refined dimensions help the gun mount quickly and settle naturally on moving targets. Barrel regulation and rib design are tuned for even patterns and predictable sight pictures across common gauges, from 12 down to .410. The result is a family of shotguns that handle clays and game birds with the same smooth, controlled swing that experienced shooters expect from a premium Italian gun.

Sporting And Upland Performance

Rizzini designs its platforms to handle everything from upland wild birds to sporting clays and formal competition. Field-oriented BR110 variants and light upland configurations keep weight manageable for long days afield, while BR110 Sporter and S2000 sporting models carry features tailored to organized clay shooting. Choke options, barrel lengths up to 32 inches, and stock choices such as adjustable combs let shooters dial in setups for skeet, sporting clays, trap, or driven game. Across the line, smooth operation and consistent ejection support high-volume shooting without sacrificing the refined feel that defines Italian sporting guns.

Italian Craftsmanship And Longevity

Rizzini combines modern CNC machining with hand-finishing, engraving, and stock shaping in its Val Trompia facility. Steel actions, chrome-lined barrels, and quality walnut are selected and fitted to provide long service life while maintaining tight lockup and clean trigger pulls. Higher-grade models receive hand-chased engraving, upgraded wood, and detailed checkering that stand up to regular use yet retain their visual appeal. Many owners view a Rizzini shotgun as both a working tool and an heirloom, backed by a brand philosophy that emphasizes precision and durability as much as aesthetics.

Product Focus

Rifles

While Rizzini is best known for shotguns, its approach extends to combination guns and over-under hunting rifles that pair rifled and smoothbore barrels or twin rifled tubes. These guns are designed for driven and European-style big-game hunting, with regulation focused on delivering both barrels to the same point at practical field distances. Stocks follow the same Italian sporting dimensions as the shotguns, which helps shotgunners transition easily to Rizzini rifle and combo platforms. Durable finishes and robust locking systems keep the guns secure under heavier recoil, while sights and optics mounts support precise shot placement on game. For hunters who want a matched set across shotguns and rifles, Rizzini long guns provide a consistent feel and aesthetic from birds to larger game.

Double Rifles

Rizzini double rifles and express-style guns bring traditional two-barrel big-game concepts into the modern era. Paired rifled barrels are regulated for a common impact point, and strong locking mechanisms help manage heavier calibers intended for close-range authority. The same craftsmanship seen on S2000 and other high-grade shotguns appears here in deep scroll engraving, refined metal finishes, and select walnut stocks shaped for fast, controlled mounting. These doubles appeal to hunters who favor classic form and to collectors interested in Italian-built express rifles that still see real field use. With careful regulation and hand fitting, Rizzini double rifles maintain reliability and shootability across seasons of travel and hunting.

Shotguns

Rizzini shotguns are the foundation of the brand. The BR110 line, introduced as a value-oriented field gun, quickly earned praise and awards from upland and conservation groups. BR110 Sporter and Sporter-X models extend that platform into the clay-target world, with longer barrels, extended chokes, and optional adjustable combs. At the higher end, S2000 and other sporting and field models feature hand-chased engraving, upgraded walnut, and refined stocks intended for both performance and presentation. Across the catalog, Rizzini offers gauges from 12 down to .410, including small-gauge guns that showcase the company’s passion for lightweight, lively handling shotguns. Shooters who value swing, trigger quality, and Italian lines often place Rizzini near the top of their list for upland, clays, and all-around sporting use.
