Description
There are field guns, and then there are guns you plan the rest of your collection around. The Rizzini Grand Regal Extra sits firmly in that second camp. Built in Italy on a low profile steel roundbody frame with sideplates, this 16 gauge wears full coverage engraving hand finished by the master engravers at Bottega Incisioni di Cesare Giovanelli, including ornamental scroll, detailed game scenes, and matching work on the trigger guard, trigger tang, and grip cap. The coin finished receiver gives all that artistry room to breathe, and the hand selected Grade 4 Turkish walnut underneath it carries the kind of figure you usually only see at bespoke gun rooms.
Why the Grand Regal Extra in 16 Gauge Makes Sense Afield
The 16 gauge has always been the sweet spot for upland hunters, hitting harder than a 20 without the bulk of a 12, and Rizzini built this one on a properly scaled frame. At 6.8 pounds with 29 inch chrome lined barrels and a solid rib, it swings smooth on crossing birds but still carries easily through a full day of walking hedgerows. The 2.75 inch chambers, single selective trigger, automatic ejectors, and tang safety keep the handling simple and traditional, exactly what you want when a grouse flushes at your feet.
Details That Set This Rizzini Apart
The rounded Boss style forend is a signature touch, cut with fine 26 LPI checkering that matches the pistol grip stock. Stock dimensions run a 14 5/8 inch length of pull with drop from 1 1/2 to 2 1/4 inches, a fit that works for a wide range of wing shooters right out of the case. Speaking of which, Rizzini ships the Grand Regal Extra with five nickel coated flush choke tubes and a fitted ABS case, so you can tune your patterns from skeet field to late season pheasants without hunting down extras.
This is the kind of over under that gets handed down, not traded in. If a best quality Italian 16 has been on your list, this is a strong place to land.
