Info on Rizzini O/U

[AyeR15]

Just bought a Rizzini Premier Sporting O/U 20g. From a collection through an estate. Comes with the original case and chokes but not much else. Looks like it was rarely used if at all. Any way to find out how old the gun is? RizziniUSA couldnt help me because it was before their involvement in importing them. i emailed Rizzini in Italy but i ve heard they rarely get back to you. Any help would be great.

The Rizzini shotgun comes from a few different family branches which is why specifics can be tough
IIRC from my trap shooting and shotgun eyeballing days the premier was a
RIZZINI, BATTISTA built shotgun popular in early 2000s
They few i actually seen had really nice wood foe the price points.

Call Rich Cole, he was one of the original Rizzini sellers. Cole Gun – Fine Guns And Gunsmithing

Beside Cole’s, you may want to reach out to William Larkin Moore. I believe they imported them for a time as well.

Did you get it for a great price?

 

[AyeR15]

Thanks guys. I'll try those sources.

I do Know it is the B. Rizzini type which from what I read is the better of the three. Pricing when new seemed to be all over the place from 22-$2500 and onward.

William, Larkin , Moore helped me out. Gentleman was full of knowledge. i called Cole's and he was nice but it sounds like Rizzini screwed him over after they pulled out of the contract with SigArms to import them.
