Chief:

Last year, I found a 'new, old stock' B. Rizzini 'Upland EL SxS' in 20 gauge. I have 1K shells through it so far with no problems. This is a WLM import, to their specs.

It's a quality gun, with features that suit me. The triggers are a crisp 4 1/2 pounds. It shoots to point of hold.

Price sold it, and I likely would not have bought the current model 550, at least at retail price. That really is a different gun than mine, although it may suit you just fine. Street price on the new ones (choke tubes, single trigger, coin finish, engraved) seems to be about $4500.

B. Rizzini makes a good serviceable product.

Edit: I see where John Boyd has one with a straight grip and double triggers like mine, except with sideplates and choke tubes. $3700. Looks like a fair deal on a good gun if you can shoot 15" pull and I certainly can.
