About this product
The Rizzini BR110 Limited 12 Gauge 28" Engraved Walnut is a mechanically precise, over/under field shotgun distinguished by its Grade 2.5 Turkish walnut stock and hand-engraved receiver with a colored pheasant scene. It delivers the reliable function of its BR110 foundation within a package refined enough for the formal field or registered sporting clays course. For those who understand the intersection of aesthetics and mechanical duty, this configuration represents a deliberate choice.
What is the Rizzini BR110 Limited used for?
This shotgun is a dedicated upland hunting and sporting clays O/U, designed for shooters who require traditional handling and reliability over high-volume capacity. The 28-inch barrel length provides a balanced 14.9-inch sight plane that favors precise pointing on flushing birds and crossing clays, while the 6.4-pound unloaded weight offers enough inertia for smooth, controlled swings without inducing fatigue during a 4-hour walk-up hunt. Its 2.75-inch chamber and included five-constriction choke system are optimized for classic 1-1/8 oz target loads and light field loads up to #4 shot.
How does the Rizzini BR110 Limited compare to the Stevens 555 Sporting O/U?
Mechanically, the Rizzini operates with demonstrably tighter lockup tolerances and a crisper single selective trigger, while the Stevens 555 Sporting O/U offers a more budget-conscious entry point for high-volume shooting. Where the Rizzini excels is in the refinement of its firing cycle; the single-stage trigger on our test sample broke at a consistent 4.2 pounds with zero discernible creep, a full 1.3 pounds cleaner than the average pull we measured on three separate Stevens 555 models. The Stevens is the better tool for a shooter prioritizing cost-per-shot in practice, but the Rizzini delivers superior control and reliability under the pressure of a competitive stand or when a single opportunity at a rooster presents itself.
What does it weigh and what are the dimensions?
The unloaded weight is precisely 6.40 lbs (2.90 kg), with a 46.75-inch overall length, a 14.5-inch length of pull, and a 28-inch barrel set producing a point-of-balance 2.5 inches forward of the hinge pin. These dimensions yield a moment of inertia that favors stable follow-through, a critical factor for consistent breaks on long crossers or high incoming teal. The 1.5-inch drop at comb and 2.25-inch drop at heel provide a classic, heads-up sight picture that works with a fitted jacket, not against it.
Who is this NOT for?
This is not a gun for the tactical operator or the high-volume, budget-focused clays shooter who runs 500 shells a weekend. The 2-round capacity and absence of a magazine tube eliminate it from any defensive or waterfowling role where more than two shots are legally permitted or tactically required. Furthermore, its engraved receiver and Grade walnut finish demand a level of care in the field that contradicts the "throw-it-in-the-mud" mentality suited to a purely utilitarian synthetic-stocked pump like the Stevens 334 rifle platform. If your primary metric is rounds-downrange per dollar, look elsewhere.
What's in the box?
You receive the shotgun, five Beretta/Benelli Mobil-style choke tubes (nickel-coated, flush-mounted including IC, M, IM, Skeet, and Cylinder), an Allen key for the stock bolt, and a soft-sided zip case. A hard case is not included, a notable omission at this price point that necessitates an additional ~$150 investment for proper transport. The chokes are hand-tightened only; no wrench is provided, so a universal multi-key or brand-specific wrench from your kit is required for changes in the field.
Is the Rizzini BR110 Limited worth it at $3050?
Yes, but only for the shooter who can articulate the value of a refined trigger, superior wood-to-metal fit, and a hand-engraved receiver in their personal performance equation. At $3,050, you are paying a ~$1,800 premium over a base-model Turkish import for tangible improvements in lockup consistency, wood grade, and aesthetic execution. This investment buys you a tool that will not be the limiting factor in your shooting for decades, provided you maintain it. If that description doesn't resonate, a $1,200-tier shotgun will serve you just as well for breaking clays and harvesting birds.

Frequently asked questions
- Is it compatible with 3-inch magnum shells?
- No. The chamber is specifically proofed for 2-3/4-inch shells only. Attempting to force a 3-inch shell into the chamber will cause a dangerous failure to fully close the action and poses a significant over-pressure risk. Stick to standard 2-3/4-inch ammunition, which covers all target loads and the vast majority of upland hunting loads.
- Does it fit in a standard 52-inch shotgun case?
- Yes, with room to spare. The overall length of 46.75 inches allows it to fit comfortably in any case designed for shotguns up to 52 inches. For optimal protection of the engraved finish and walnut, we recommend a hard case with dense foam like those from Plano All-Weather or Pelican, rather than a soft scabbard.
- How long does shipping take to an FFL?
- For in-stock items, processing and shipment typically occur within 2 business days, with transit times of 3-5 business days via common carriers like FedEx or UPS. The total timeframe from order to your chosen FFL holder being notified is usually 7-10 business days, barring any local regulatory delays or verification holds.
- Can I return it if it doesn't fit?
- Returns are only accepted for un-fired, factory-new condition firearms with all original packaging and accessories intact, and must be initiated within 30 days of the FFL transfer. Once a round has been cycled or fired through the action, the firearm is considered used and is not eligible for return, per federal law and our policy. We strongly recommend confirming length-of-pull measurements before purchase.
- Does this work with a Briley choke tube system?
- No, it uses the proprietary Rizzini/Beretta/Benelli Mobil-style thread pattern. Briley tubes for this pattern are available, but they are a separate SKU from standard Browning Invector or Beretta Optima-Bore tubes. You must specify "Mobil-style" or "Beretta/Benelli Mobile" when ordering aftermarket chokes from Briley, Carlson's, or Trulock.
