12 Gauge Over and Under Single Trigger Shotgun from Rizzini in Italy. 27 1/8 (690mm) Multi-Choke Barrel (with chokes adding circa. ½” (12mm). Current set up is with a Full restriction to the Bottom barrel and ½ Top. Same width Ventilated Sight Rib, Cross File Cut to stop any glare / light bounce with Double Sighting Beads. Single Selective Trigger so easily chosen for that first shot with zero messing around.
Pull currently at 14 ¼” (360mm) and together bring in an Overall length of 44 5/8” (1135mm). Scales registering a weight of 7 lbs 13 oz (3.538 Kg) so MORE than handy for clays as well as live quarry. The Side Plate version which is finished with Profuse and Full Scroll Engraving to both sides as well as the rest of the action. Top, sides and bottom. 2/3” (70mm) Chambers and NO, NOT STEEL PROOF but DO PLEASE READ ON to the bottom. There are additional chokes with the gun too. NOT that it makes much difference to the vast majority if not all shooters IN REALITY. Ventilated Jointing Ribs too, help the barrels to cool faster. The Sporter Version and only a Light Right Handed cast.
So, a Single Selective Trigger, Boxlock Side plated, Fully Engraved, Multi Choke Ejector. ONLY other option would be assisted opening too but that’s actually easy enough as it is. A LOT OF GUN for the money.
As for the Lead Sh-t ‘FIASCO’? READ ON:
THERE ARE more and more None Toxic Shot alternatives being produced. WITH near matching performances to traditional lead and close to, if not matching pressures. Take a look at Horton Gunmakers for their own entry into this debacle of modern day shooting. IF its so lethally deadly to shooters and game eaters how is it every old lead water main supply pipe is not getting ripped out and replaced? To my mind it’s a DISGRACE that the shooting industry did not simply ask that one simple question. NO, they saw an excuse to charge a fortune and that mainly to the detriment of the quarry. Just my opinion …..for what its worth?
Anyway, take a look for yourself:

NOW, to TRY and help speed up availability I WILL also suggest that YOU pass on details to everyone you know who shoots. Then ALL of us start to ask whoever we buy from why they are not DEMANDING cartridges made in this material? Basically VOTE with your WALLET.
YES, it will take a little time for everything to filter through but patience IS a virtue. It also allows everyone who wants to keep hold of their ‘old favourite’ for the rest of their lives. Even pass it on to the next generation and hopefully beyond!
On that note I AM looking into the possibility of stocking some direct from Steve at Hortons. RING for an update and keep checking the web site.
