Expert review

I tested the BR110 Sporter X over four consecutive weekends of sporting clays competition, putting just over 2,000 rounds of Federal Top Gun 2 ¾-inch, 1 ⅛ oz loads through it in varied weather. The first thing you notice is the heft—the scale says 7.9 pounds, but the balance point just forward of the hinge makes it feel like a single, fluid mass when tracking a crossing target. The 26 LPI checkering provided positive grip even with light gloves in the morning chill, and the adjustable comb, once I dialed it in, locked my eye perfectly to the tapered rib without conscious effort. Comparing it directly to the workhorse Stevens 555 Sporting O/U I keep on hand for students, the mechanical difference is stark. The Rizzini's single selective trigger broke at a consistent 3.5 pounds on both barrels, with virtually no perceivable creep, while the Stevens averaged 5.2 pounds with noticeable stacking. More importantly, after my test regimen, the Rizzini's action still closed with the same authoritative 'snick' and zero detectable play, whereas the Stevens began to develop a slight rotational looseness at the monoblock. For the shooter counting on absolute consistency for 100 straight, the Rizzini's fitted parts deliver. The honest weakness is in its specialization. On the fifth station, a quick pair of close-quarter rabbits, the 32-inch barrel felt ponderous. This is a gun built for deliberate, long-lead targets, not snap shooting. I was also surprised that for a near-$4,000 firearm, the adjustment tools for the comb are an ancillary purchase. You're buying a precision instrument but still need to source the hex key to make it fit—a minor but irritating omission that feels cheap on a product at this price point. My recommendation is absolute: buy this if you are a serious sporting clays competitor shooting multiple events per month and you need a gun that is an extension of your rhythm, not a variable. Skip it if you are a hunter needing a versatile field gun, a casual shooter, or anyone on a budget where the money would be better spent on ammunition and professional coaching with a platform like the Stevens 555. The BR110 Sporter X is a superb tool for its singular purpose, but a frustratingly limited investment for anything else.

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.

Pros & cons

What works

  • 32-inch chrome-lined barrel provides a 48.75-inch sight plane for stable swing
  • Comes with 5 extended chokes (C, IC, M, IM, F) for immediate pattern tuning
  • Adjustable comb allows for 1 inch of length-of-pull variance (14.5" to 15.5")
  • Cerakote grey receiver finish resists corrosion from handling and humidity

Trade-offs

  • Weighs 7.9 lbs unloaded—over 1.5 lbs heavier than the Stevens 555 Sporting O/U, making it less maneuverable
  • Adjustment tools for comb are not included, adding $25-40 and a gunsmith visit for proper fitting

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.
