Overview

The Perazzi MX2005 is a high-grade Italian competition shotgun chambered in 12 gauge and built specifically for the trap disciplines, offered in both over/under and single-barrel 'unsingle' configurations for Olympic trap, double trap and American trap. It features Perazzi's signature drop-out (removable) trigger group with flat or coil mainsprings, an adjustable five-notch ventilated rib (parallel or tapered) and an adjustable point of impact, letting the shooter dial in exact pattern placement. Each gun is hand-fitted with a walnut stock featuring an adjustable comb (wood or rubber) and a beavertail forend, and is available with fixed or interchangeable chokes and an engraved nickel-plated or blued action.
