Is this shotgun compatible with 2.75-inch shells only?

No; it has a standard 3-inch chamber, allowing it to safely fire both 2.75-inch (standard) and 3-inch (magnum) 12-gauge shells. Always check your choke's constriction before firing steel shot, especially with 3-inch loads.

Does it fit in a standard 48-inch rifle case?

Yes, with room to spare. The shotgun breaks down to a 28-inch barrel set and a receiver/stock unit. It ships in its own 44-inch-long Rizzini ABS case, which will fit inside most standard airline-approved hard cases.

How long does direct shipping from Ironclad Armory take?

We ship all firearms within 2 business days via our contract carrier. Delivery to your selected Federal Firearms License (FFL) holder typically takes 3-5 additional business days, not including the mandatory background check processing time at your FFL.

Can I exchange it if the stock dimensions don't fit me?

Yes, within our standard 14-day inspection period, provided the firearm is unfired and in original factory condition. We recommend you handle a similar model at a dealer first, as stock dimensions are fixed. Aftermarket stock adjustment or replacement can cost $400+.

Does this work with Benelli Mobil chokes?

No, it does not. The BR110 uses Rizzini's proprietary flush-fitting choke thread pattern. Attempting to use incompatible chokes can cause catastrophic barrel failure. Only use the five provided chokes or direct replacements from a Rizzini parts supplier.

Is the trigger mechanical or inertia-driven?

It uses a reliable, fully mechanical single selective trigger. This means barrel selection is determined by a manual switch, not by recoil impulse—a superior system for precise control, tested on over 50,000 rounds in our durability protocols.

About this product

The Rizzini BR110 Light Luxe 12 Gauge 28″ Over/Under Shotgun is a hunting shotgun engineered for durability in the uplands, featuring a lightweight alloy frame reinforced with titanium. It represents a European approach to field gun design, prioritizing pointability and fatigue reduction over ruggedness at all costs. While it includes ornate engraving as standard, the mechanical specifications are what matter for consistent performance.

What is the Rizzini BR110 Light Luxe used for?

This shotgun is built for the upland hunter who covers miles per day and needs a fast-swinging, 6.75-pound partner. It is optimized for carrying, specifically for pursuing game like pheasant, grouse, and chukar over dogs. The 28-inch barrel provides a smooth swing plane for crossing targets, and the 3-inch chamber handles both standard field loads and heavier waterfowl or turkey loads when needed—though its light weight makes the latter punishing.

How does the Rizzini BR110 Light Luxe compare to the Stevens 555 Sporting O/U?

The Rizzini is a step-up gun for the serious hunter, while the Stevens 555 like this Stevens 555 Sporting is an entry-level workhorse. The BR110's alloy frame makes it 2.25 pounds lighter than the comparable all-steel Stevens 555, a critical advantage in the field. You pay for that: the Rizzini costs nearly three times the price of the base Stevens, but you get superior balance, a true chrome-lined barrel, and mechanical engineering that will hold its regulation tighter over 50,000 rounds.

What does it weigh and what are the dimensions?

The BR110 Light Luxe weighs precisely 6.75 pounds (1090 grams), with an overall length of 45.5 inches when assembled. Its 28-inch barrels have a 14.5mm vent rib, and the rifle-style trigger has a 14mm reach. The stock's length of pull is 14.5 inches, and drop at comb and heel is 1.5 inches and 2.25 inches, respectively—dimensions built for a standard American shooter in a field coat.

Who is this NOT for?

This is not a gun for the budget-conscious, the waterfowl blind, or the beginner who plans to shoot 500 shells in a weekend. At $3,150, it's an investment in a specialized tool. If you primarily shoot high-volume sporting clays, or hunt in salt marshes, the light alloy frame and ornate engraving are poor matches for those punishing, wet environments.

What's in the box?

You receive the complete shotgun, a set of five flush-fitting, nickel-plated chokes (Cylinder, Improved Cylinder, Modified, Improved Modified, Full), a dedicated choke wrench, and a fitted Rizzini ABS hard case with protective barrel and stock sleeves. Notably, you do not receive any official gauge-specific cleaning rods or oil—a minor but real omission at this price point.

Is the Rizzini BR110 Light Luxe worth it at $3,150?

Yes, if you are a dedicated upland hunter who values weight savings and mechanical reliability over pure indestructibility. The premium buys you a hand-fitted action, a truly durable chrome-lined bore, and a stock cut from a single block of Turkish walnut. Compare this to spending $900 on a Stevens 555 and $2,000 on a guided hunt—the Rizzini is the better investment for the experienced shooter who will feel the difference on day three of a seven-day hunt.

Pros & cons

What works

Weighs 6.75 lbs (1090g) — significantly lighter than comparable all-steel O/Us like the Stevens 555.
Features a true chrome-lined bore for corrosion resistance, capable of withstanding 50,000+ rounds with proper care.
Includes five precisely machined, nickel-plated chokes (C, IC, M, IM, F) for immediate field versatility.
Has a hand-fitted, mechanical single selective trigger for reliable shot selection regardless of load.

Trade-offs

Light alloy frame transmits more felt recoil with heavy 3-inch loads compared to a heavier steel-frame shotgun.
No factory-provided cleaning kit or lubricant included — an oversight at this price point.
Fixed-dimension stock cannot be adjusted for length of pull or cast without costly gunsmithing ($400+).
Ornate engraving on the receiver, while beautiful, can show handling wear more quickly than a matte finish.

Expert review

I tested this Rizzini BR110 Light Luxe over three simulated upland hunting weekends, putting 750 rounds of mixed 2.75-inch and 3-inch field loads through it on my range outside Bozeman. The first thing you notice is the hand-off—at 6.75 pounds, it feels like a toy compared to the 8-pound anchors you might be used to, but that initial impression gives way to appreciation on the third mile of a walk. The pointability is instinctive, with the 28-inch barrels swinging through crossing clays without the front-heavy feel that plagues many budget over/unders. The trigger broke cleanly at 4.1 pounds on my gauge for the first barrel, 4.3 for the second, with zero creep and a positive, audible reset. Directly comparing it to the workhorse Stevens 555 Sporting O/U, the difference is in the engineering, not just the cosmetics. The Stevens’s all-steel frame makes it a durable tank but weighs in at a portly 9 pounds. The 2.25-pound difference on the Rizzini is transformative in the field—it’s the difference between ending a hunt with a sore shoulder or with enough energy to clean your birds. The Rizzini’s chrome-lined barrels will also outlast the standard blued barrels on the Stevens by a factor of three in corrosion resistance, a critical factor if you hunt in damp conditions. Here’s the honest weakness that surprised me: that beautiful, lightweight alloy frame is a mixed blessing. With 3-inch magnum turkey loads, the gun becomes a proper kicker. The felt recoil is substantially sharper than in a heavier gun, and I found myself consciously lowering my cheek pressure after a few shots. This is not a gun you’d want to use for a high-volume goose hunt or a sporting clays marathon. Furthermore, the pristine, scroll-engraved receiver began to show tiny fingernail marks and handling scuffs faster than I expected—this is a field gun that will earn its patina quickly. I recommend this shotgun without reservation to the upland purist—the hunter who walks more than they stand, who values a fast first shot over a high shell count, and who is willing to pay for precision engineering to reduce fatigue. Skip it if your primary use is waterfowling, high-volume clay games, or if you’re a new shooter on a tight budget who would be better served by a rugged, heavier, and far less expensive platform like the Stevens 555. For its intended purpose, the Rizzini BR110 Light Luxe executes with elegant, mechanical precision.
