Rizzini BR110 Light Luxe
Battista Rizzini S.r.l. · Shotgun · In Production
Also known as: BR110 Light, BR 110 Light Luxe
Overview
The Rizzini BR110 Light Luxe is an Italian over-and-under boxlock shotgun and the lightweight, higher-grade version of the BR110 field gun. It uses a slim, low-profile anodized light-alloy receiver reinforced internally with titanium to cut weight, dropping a 12-gauge gun to around 6.8 lb and the smaller bores well under 6 lb. Offered in 12, 16, 20, 28 gauge and .410 bore, it features automatic ejectors, a single selective trigger, a ventilated rib, five nickel-coated flush chokes and a Turkish walnut stock, with an ornamental game-scene engraving (pheasant on the larger bores, quail on 28 and .410).

Background
To shave weight without giving up the BR110's slim over-under lines, Rizzini machines the Light Luxe receiver from anodized light alloy and stiffens it with internal titanium inserts, letting a 28-gauge or .410 build come in under six pounds for all-day upland carry.
