Rizzini BR110 Sporter IPS O/U 12 Gauge 32-inch
About this product
The Rizzini BR110 Sporter IPS O/U 12 Gauge 32-inch is an over/under competition shotgun engineered with a tool-free adjustable rib system and back-bored chrome-lined barrels for enhanced pattern uniformity and reduced recoil. It's built on Rizzini's dedicated sporting frame with a weight-forward 8.5-pound balance, making it a purpose-built gun for serious clay target disciplines like FITASC and Sporting Clays. For shooters accustomed to production-line shotguns, the BR110's custom-feel adjustments and precision barrel specifications represent a significant step up in specialized performance.
What is the Rizzini BR110 Sporter IPS used for?
This shotgun is for competitive clay target shooting, specifically FITASC, Sporting Clays, or Five Stand where a steady swing and consistent point of impact are critical. The 32-inch barrels and 8.5-pound weight make it stable and deliberate, perfect for long crossing targets on a large field. This setup provides an advantage on high-volume, long-course days by minimizing shooter fatigue and maintaining a consistent mount point through the comb adjustment over hundreds of shells.
How does the Rizzini BR110 Sporter IPS compare to the Stevens 555 Sporting O/U?
The Rizzini BR110 commands a $4,000 premium over the Stevens 555 for shooters demanding mechanical precision over budget-friendly reliability. The BR110 outperforms the Stevens with its tool-free rib adjustment system, back-bored and chrome-lined barrels, and a true competition-grade walnut stock, where the Stevens offers a fixed rib and standard forcing cones in a value-conscious package. For a weekend sporting clays shooter, the Stevens is completely adequate, but the Rizzini will deliver tighter patterns and a more refined swing for serious competition.
What does it weigh and what are the dimensions?
The shotgun weighs 1360 grams (3 pounds) in the action and barrels, coupled with a 4.85-pound (2,200-gram) stock assembly for a total of 8.5 pounds (3,856 grams). Its 32-inch barrels give it an overall length of 48.5 inches from the butt pad to the muzzle, and it has a 14.75-inch length of pull with a 1.5-inch adjustable comb height. The 10-millimeter-wide adjustable vent rib offers three sight plane settings, allowing for a 5-millimeter change in point of impact at 40 yards between each position.
Who is this NOT for?
This is not a beginner's shotgun or an all-purpose field gun—its 48.5-inch length and 8.5-pound weight make it cumbersome for upland hunting or walking long distances. The single selective trigger and lack of an automatic safety reset are not ideal for fast-paced hunting scenarios or for shooters accustomed to field guns with inertia triggers. If you need a gun for waterfowl, turkey, or general-purpose use, consider a semi-automatic or a lighter-weight over/under like the Stevens 555 Sporting 20 Gauge review.
What's in the box?
The gun ships with five Trulock extended choke tubes: Cylinder, Improved Cylinder, Modified, Improved Modified, and Full, plus a choke tube wrench. It includes the combination wrench for the adjustable comb's 6-millimeter hex-head bolts and the rib's adjustment tool, which is integrated into the fore-end's hardware. The factory packaging includes a Plano hard case with foam cutouts, the owner's manual, and a warranty registration card valid for 10,000 rounds or two years from the date of purchase. You will not find a dedicated cleaning rod or snap caps.
Is the Rizzini BR110 Sporter IPS worth it at $5,750?
Yes, if you are shooting 5,000 or more shells annually in registered competitions and require a gun that offers tool-free customization without a gunsmith. At this price point, the adjustable rib, back-bored barrels, and Grade II Turkish walnut represent tangible mechanical advantages over production guns, justifying the investment for a dedicated competition shooter. For a casual shooter or someone new to the sport, the law of diminishing returns applies—a $1,500–$2,500 shotgun will provide 90% of the performance for 50% of the cost.

Pros & cons
What works
- Tool-free rib adjustment system alters point of impact by 5 mm at 40 yards across three settings
- XL back-bored, chrome-lined barrels reduce recoil by an estimated 15% versus standard 12-gauge forcing cones
- Grade II Turkish walnut stock includes a 1.5-inch vertically adjustable comb secured with 6 mm hex bolts
- Weighs 8.5 lbs with a 60/40 weight-forward balance for deliberate swing stability on long targets
Trade-offs
- No aftermarket choke tube compatibility—replacement IPS chokes cost $65-$90 each from Rizzini only
- Manual safety does not auto-reset when gun is opened, a potential issue for field hunters transitioning from inertia-safe guns
- 48.5-inch overall length requires a minimum 50-inch case, limiting standard case compatibility
- At 8.5 lbs, it is 1.75 lbs heavier than the average field-grade over/under, making it unsuitable for upland hunting

Frequently asked questions
- Is it compatible with Trulock or Browning Invector Plus choke tubes?
- No, it uses Rizzini's proprietary IPS (Improved Performance System) choke threads, which are unique to this series and not cross-compatible with Invector, Invector-Plus, or Beretta/Benelli Mobil threads. The included five Trulock chokes are specifically machined for the IPS system, and replacements must be ordered directly from Rizzini or an authorized dealer like Ironclad Armory.
- Does it fit in a standard 52-inch shotgun case?
- Barely. With the 32-inch barrels, the overall length is 48.5 inches, leaving only 3.5 inches of clearance in a typical case. I recommend a case with internal dimensions of at least 50 inches, such as the SKB 3i Series 5004, to ensure the muzzle doesn't contact the end cap during transport. For airline travel, verify the case's TSA-approved locking points accommodate the gun's length.
- How long does shipping take to an FFL?
- Ironclad Armory processes in-stock firearms within 24–48 hours, with transit times of 2–5 business days via FedEx Priority Overnight or 2-Day Air, depending on your location relative to Bozeman, Montana. The total timeline from order to your FFL's receipt is typically 3–7 business days, not including the FFL's mandatory 3-day waiting period for the background check, which varies by state.
- Can I return it if it doesn't fit me properly?
- No. Due to federal regulations, Ironclad Armory does not accept returns on personalized, adjusted firearms once they have been transferred to an FFL. We strongly recommend consulting our fitment guide or contacting us for a virtual fitting session before purchase. If the length of pull or comb height is incorrect, you will need to have a gunsmith like Cole's Fine Gunsmithing modify the stock, which typically costs $150–$300.
