Those English Perazzi things are quite different. Reverse taper not swamped.

The feature I like best on my Beretta 626 Onyx is the high rib. It's a shame they couldn't keep making a fine gun that was reasonably priced.

I shoot a variety of ribs styles, concaved, raised, raised tapered, and sunken on a couple French shotguns and I never think about them and they all shoot.well. I did see a sxs with a short rib near the breach and just enough at the muzzle to mount a bead and connect the barrels, I would have liked to shoot it. I will say the tapered rib makes the barrels seem longer than their 25" length when looking down them.

After the first shot the rest are just noise.

The Perazzis shown in the English shop ads seem to follow the Boss prototype pretty close. We are talking about the OU Boss, cannot see how an OU could have had a swamped rib. I am talking about the OU with the short rib section over the chamber and another short section at the muzzle, no rib in between.
