Rizzini BR110
- Thread starter The Baron
- Start date
We are fortunate to have three Sporters as demos at our club.
12ga in 30” and 32” and a lady-specific 12ga in 30”.
Very nice guns for the price point. I think they are one of the best values out there.
Pretty much everyone who has tried them have been impressed and we have had no issues at all.

I’ve had 2 BR110’s (12 and 28),a Round Body 20, and currently shoot an Artemis 20g and can highly recommend the BR110’s and other B Rizzini shotguns. I shot Browning Citori’s for years and while I still very much enjoy them the Rizzini’s just feel so much nicer in the hands….slim, smooth and outstanding craftsmanship. Been shooting 5 stand for last few years and my first 25 was with a standard BR110 12g, they work and shoot great. The sub gauges feel like wands in the hand, very trim and light.
Good to know. But with me being 6’4” and XL gloves fitting like hand condoms, that might be a good thing.
Sounds like I need to get myself to Epps and handle some Rizzinis.

This is correct for the BR110 series (the 16 is on a 12g frame as well) but as you move up to higher grades it’s my understanding all gauges are on scaled frames

A true scaled frame 410, especially one with an alloy receiver can get pretty light in weight and many people can't shoot them well as they don't have the weight to dampen the swing. The whippy nature of a really light gun combined with the 410's small payload can make even the best shooters swear!

They're certain good for that! Lol
I'd call prophet river and see if clay can get ahold of someone to order from as he is a dealer. Not sure if he's a direct importer though. If a gun needs to be sourced that's the business I'd trust more than any other
As brybenn said, call Clay at Prophet River, they are a Rizzini retailer.
I ordered 32 gauge barrels for my BR550 in 28 gauge, and a BR110 Beccaccia Light in 28 gauge.
Expect them to arrive in March/April.
The importer/wholesaler in Canada is Stag Outdoors Sales & Marketing Inc., which is also Fierce Arms Canada / Rizzini Canada,
Their warehouse is in Mississauga.
Rob Dykeman at Stag is a great guy, very patient with my order.
Rob is arranging for me to pickup in Mississauga, saving the shipping to Prophet River and back to me in Toronto.
In September I went to Rizzini in Marcheno.
I am retired and have the time, and also no interest in holidays on a beach.
Cheap WestJet to Gatwick and easyJet from Gatwick to Bergamo was £36
I spent a day and a half with Filippo Adamati at Rizzini, and met the Rizzini family.
Filippo is a great guy and also a woodcock and snipe hunter. Turns our he also shoot a BR550 in 28 gauge.
Went to Essevierre and Rinaldo measured me for the stock.
And also went to Bottega Giovanelli and met Mary Giovanelli.
Stayed at Albergo Trattoria Dazze, across the valley from Rizzini, can see the factory from the terrace.

Plain rooms; the pasta porcini was worth the trip.
Four nights (and meals) cost less than a fancy dinner for 4 in Toronto.
Not sure if you already know your stock measurements or if you need to be measured.
I had Stelios Chrysochou measure me last year; great guy.
In Georgina.
Turns out Stelios measurements were the same as Rinaldo's (one was 1cm different).

Maybe someone closer to you in Kingston?
Just curious, what 2 barrel set are you planning to order?
Holy cow, Upland28. That sounds like an awesome trip.
I'm of modest means, so thinking just a BR110 with 30" barrels in .410 and 28ga but I'd like a wood upgrade and a stock fit to me. My LOP is about 15" for game and my sporting clays gun is 15.5". Buying factory stocks and then adding 1-1.5" of spacers and pad is ugly and I think it's time I had a gun fitted to me.
I've never been properly fitted, so a visit to Stelios would likely be my best bet. I just e-mailed to inquire about that service.

I don’t think you should get a properly fitted gun!! Unless it’s just used for hunting. I’m gonna suggest custom fitted guns NOT be allowed on our clubs 5 stand field HAHA. Can only imagine how well you’ll shoot with a fitted gun.
That's why I'm getting it in .410... to keep things fair. ;-) lol
I recently bought an unfired 870 wingmaster made in 1975 in 410. That gun is sooo much fun. Just need to find some more shells. Crappy Tire peeled me for over $40 a box but I bought the only two boxes they had anyways cuz I just had to shoot it. Round counts 25 now but will increase as soon as I locate some more ammo.
Unfortunately the shells they had were 3” number 5 meant for hunting and not the clays I used them on. The search continues for a source. I’ve seen some on the ee for $50 a box. I have a few buddies that shoot 410 at our club but hate to help them deplete their stash. It is a lot of fun with that little shell. I think I’ll buy a 28 Binelli next for ducks and grouse. Pretty much just shoot 20 anymore for everything.
