I own an 28 bore AYA #2 (purchased used) and a 28 Rizzini, which I bought new and is semi bespoke. I like them both and, to me, they seem of about equal quality and a lot of gun for the money. My local gunsmith is of a different opinion. He tells me the internals on the Rizzini have closer tolerances and better quality machined steel than the AYA.
I shoot the Rizzini a little better but I think that is because it weighs 5 lb. 12 oz, verses 5 lb. 7 oz. for the AYA. Most AYA No. 2's are closer to or above 6 pounds and the light weight of my AYA is one reason I bought it even through it feels a bit whippy and I don't shoot it that well. My shortcomings, I know, but a delight to carry.
