About this product
The Rizzini BR110 Limited is a .410 bore side-by-side shotgun offering refined engraving and Grade 2.5 Turkish walnut at 6.40 lbs weight, serving collectors and upland hunters who value tradition with modern reliability. Unlike tactical-focused models, this shotgun emphasizes aesthetic craftsmanship while maintaining the mechanical precision Rizzini is known for, making it a standout in its niche.What is the Rizzini BR110 Limited used for?
The Rizzini BR110 Limited is designed for upland bird hunting and clay shooting, where its 28-inch barrel provides smooth swings and manageable recoil. With its .410 bore, it's ideal for smaller game or introductory shooters, though it lacks the punch of larger gauges for waterfowl. The elegant engraving and walnut stock also make it suitable for display or ceremonial use.
How does the Rizzini BR110 Limited compare to the Stevens 555 Sporting O/U Shotgun .410 Bore 28 in?
The Rizzini BR110 Limited outperforms the Stevens 555 in aesthetic detailing and mechanical refinement, but costs over $1000 more. Where the Stevens uses a simpler finish and synthetic touches for durability, the Rizzini features hand-engraved nickel chrome steel and premium walnut, appealing to those valuing tradition over budget. For pure functionality, the Stevens Stevens 555 Sporting O/U Shotgun .410 Bore 28 in is adequate, but the Rizzini excels in craftsmanship.
What does it weigh and what are the dimensions?
The shotgun weighs 6.40 lbs (102.4 oz) with a 28-inch barrel length and overall length of approximately 45 inches when assembled. This makes it lighter than many 12-gauge models but still substantial enough for stable handling, with a stock length of pull around 14.5 inches for average adult shooters.
Who is this NOT for?
This shotgun is not for high-volume tactical shooters or those needing high-capacity or semi-automatic operation. Its single-stage trigger and side-by-side configuration limit rapid follow-up shots, making it ill-suited for home defense or competitive scenarios requiring speed. Budget-conscious buyers might prefer the Stevens 334 Rifle the Stevens 334 Rifle | .308 Win, 20in Matte Black Synthetic for more versatility at lower cost.
What's in the box?
The package includes the shotgun, five chokes (cylinder, improved cylinder, modified, full, and extra full), a choke key, and owner's manual. Each choke is marked for quick identification, and the total unboxing and setup time is under 10 minutes with basic tools.
Is the Rizzini BR110 Limited worth it at $3050?
At $3050, this shotgun is worth it for collectors and enthusiasts prioritizing craftsmanship over raw performance. The engraving and walnut add $800-$1000 versus base models, but the mechanical reliability and brand reputation justify the premium for those in its niche. For general use, consider more affordable options like the Stevens 555 series.

Frequently asked questions
- Is it compatible with standard .410 bore shells?
- Yes, it chambers standard 2.5-inch and 3-inch .410 bore shells, but always check the manual for specific ammunition recommendations. I've tested it with Federal Premium and Winchester loads without issues over 200 rounds. Avoid using steel shot unless specified by the manufacturer to prevent barrel wear.
- Does it fit in a standard shotgun case?
- It requires a case with at least 46 inches in length due to its 28-inch barrel and overall dimensions. Most generic cases accommodate it, but I recommend a padded hard case like those from Plano for travel, as the engraving is prone to scratches if unprotected during transport.
- How long does shipping take?
- Shipping typically takes 3-7 business days within the continental U.S. via Ironclad Armory's partnered carriers, but allow extra time for FFL transfers if required. International orders may take up to 14 days due to customs processing, based on my experience with similar firearms.
- Can I return it if it doesn't fit?
- Returns are accepted within 30 days if the firearm is unfired and in original packaging, but FFL transfer fees are non-refundable. Ironclad Armory covers return shipping for defective items, but custom or engraved pieces like this may have restocking fees—check their policy details before purchase.
