Overview
The Perazzi SC3 is an Italian over/under competition shotgun offered by Perazzi Armi in the SC3 finishing grade, the maker's entry-level fully hand-engraved presentation above the standard receiver. Built on the same shallow trigger-plate action and detachable drop-out trigger group as Perazzi's MX-platform guns and chambered in 12 gauge, it is configured for trap, skeet, and sporting clays, with the SC3 designation denoting full-coverage fine English scroll engraving on a coin-finished receiver.

Notes
SC3 is a Perazzi engraving/finishing grade rather than a distinct mechanical model, sitting between the standard receiver and the higher SCO, SCO Gold and Extra grades. Guns are semi-bespoke: barrel length, rib, choke and made-to-measure stock dimensions are specified to order, so a single set of published overall dimensions does not exist.
Background
Hungarian shooter Diana Igaly won the Olympic Skeet gold medal at the 2004 Athens Games with a Perazzi in the SC3 grade.
