Adding some more response, Rizzini guns are well regarded, indeed there a number of British firms that now have guns made to their specification by Rizzini, including a number of the London based firms. There is not a huge for double rifles in the UK but the likes of Frankonia in Germany source a lot of their own branded Doubles from Italian makers.

The likes of Rizzini have put good investment into precision machine technologies so that they can produce a high quality gun at an affordable price. You are paying for good materials, engineering design and final hand fitting and finishing. You are not paying for a man at bench carving an action from a solid block of steel with files and chisels.

Haven’t a clue what their 470 is like, but shotguns are on a par with Verney Carron, Berretta etc.

There have been several Rizzini’s over the years - all the same family, some are lesser grade, others top. We have a little over and under 20 - pretty basic grade, but its good solid nice handling little gun.
