About this product
The Rizzini BR110 Sporter X is Rizzini's competition-oriented over/under shotgun built for sporting clays, featuring a 32-inch chrome-lined barrel for stable swing and an adjustable Turkish walnut stock for dynamic fit. It arrives with five extended chokes to fine-tune pattern to specific disciplines, and its break-open action with a single selective trigger allows for reliable cycling in demanding field conditions. This shotgun establishes itself as a precision-target firearm, not a general-purpose field gun, built for the repetitive motion of 100-300 rounds per competition day.What is the Rizzini BR110 Sporter X used for?
This shotgun is built exclusively for competitive clay target shooting, specifically the sporting clays discipline. The 32-inch barrel provides a long sight plane and deliberate swing characteristic for high-volume target engagement, while the adjustable comb and included choke set allow shooters to dial in their fit and pattern for varying target presentations. Its 3-inch chamber lets it handle the full range of standard 2 ¾-inch target loads and heavier 3-inch options, though the gun's 7.9 lb weight is optimized for recoil management of target loads, not punishing magnum shells.
How does the Rizzini BR110 Sporter X compare to the Stevens 555 Sporting O/U?
The Rizzini BR110 Sporter X is a mechanically superior competition tool, while the Stevens 555 Sporting O/U is a competent, budget-friendly entry point. The most significant quantitative difference is in the barrel construction: the BR110's barrel features chrome-lined extended forcing cones and a hand-tapered rib, reducing perceived recoil and improving shot string uniformity, which the Stevens model lacks. The Rizzini will show its advantage in consistency and durability over 50,000 rounds, whereas the Stevens will serve a casual shooter well for a fraction of the cost.
What does it weigh and what are the dimensions?
Unloaded, the BR110 Sporter X weighs 7 pounds 14.4 ounces (approximately 3570 grams) with a 32-inch barrel installed. Its overall length measures 48.75 inches from buttplate to muzzle, with a length of pull adjustable between 14.5 and 15.5 inches via the comb mechanism. The receiver width is a trim 1.75 inches at its widest point, and the tapered rib is 10mm at the breech and narrows to 8mm at the muzzle, providing a clean, consistent sighting plane.
Who is this NOT for?
This is not a viable firearm for hunters, home defense, or casual plinkers. The 32-inch barrel is excessive for moving through brush, and the manual thumb safety is a liability in a defensive scenario where speed is critical. For someone shooting a box of shells a year, the investment is functionally wasted; a more appropriate option would be our Stevens 555 Sporting 20 Gauge review. The BR110 is a specialist's tool, and treating it otherwise misunderstands its engineering intent.
What's in the box?
You receive the shotgun, five specific extended nickel-plated chokes (Cylinder, Improved Cylinder, Modified, Improved Modified, and Full), and a dedicated choke wrench. The included travel case is a rigid, foam-lined design, not a soft bag, sized to accommodate the assembled firearm. Rizzini includes a basic owner's manual, but notably does not include supplementary tools for stock adjustment—those are available separately and required for proper fitting.
Is the Rizzini BR110 Sporter X worth it at $3894.99?
At nearly four thousand dollars, it is worth the investment only for the committed competitor logging over 5,000 rounds annually who demands a gun that fits and performs identically shot after shot. The price buys you the hand-fitted lockup, the precisely regulated single selective trigger, and the durable Cerakote finish that will withstand sweat, humidity, and hard case travel. For any other use case, including a new shooter's first over/under, the cost is prohibitive for the marginal returns; spend that money on ammunition and professional instruction with a more affordable platform first.

Frequently asked questions
- Is it compatible with aftermarket choke tubes?
- Yes, it uses the common Beretta/Benelli Mobil choke thread pattern. This is a standard thread used by many major manufacturers like Briley and Carlson's, so you have a wide selection of aftermarket constrictions and materials available. Always confirm thread pitch (Mobil) before purchase to ensure compatibility.
- Does the adjustable comb require special tools?
- Yes. The comb adjustment uses a proprietary 3mm hex key and a flathead screwdriver, which are not included in the box. You must purchase these tools separately or have a qualified gunsmith perform the initial fitting. Allow 15-20 minutes for the initial adjustment to get the comb height and cast correct for your cheek weld.
- How long does shipping take for a firearm?
- All firearms ship within 3 business days to your selected FFL dealer after your background check and dealer information are verified. Transit time via FedEx 2Day is typically 2-3 additional business days. You must contact your FFL to coordinate pickup once the firearm arrives at their location.
- Can I return it if it doesn't fit?
- No. Due to federal firearms regulations, we cannot accept returns on firearms unless the item is materially defective or not as described. Fit is subjective and not grounds for return. We strongly recommend handling this or a similar model at a local dealer before purchasing to confirm the stock dimensions work for your physique.
