Description
There's something about a proper side-by-side that an over/under just can't replicate, and the Rizzini BR220 Field nails that feel without the price tag of a bespoke double. Built in Brescia, Italy on a frame properly scaled to the 20 gauge, this one carries the way a 20 bore double should, quick to the shoulder and lively between the hands at right around 6.4 pounds. The 29-inch barrels are a smart middle ground too, giving you a longer sighting plane for smoother swings on crossing birds while staying handy in the grouse woods.
What Makes the BR220 Field Worth a Look
Rizzini kept the mechanics traditional and proven: a box lock action, automatic ejectors, and a single selective trigger with the selector built into the safety. The receiver wears a nickel chrome coin finish dressed up with game scene engraving and ornamental scroll along the bottom, hand finished so it looks the part at the clays club or the tailgate. Nickel chrome steel barrels sit under a vented rib, and the whole package comes with five flush-fitting nickel-coated choke tubes so you can go tight for late season roosters or open things up over pointing dogs.
Turkish Walnut Done Right on the Rizzini BR220
The Grade 2.5 Turkish walnut stock is where this gun really earns its keep at the counter. You get a Prince of Wales grip, a rounded forend, and 26 lines-per-inch checkering that gives real purchase without chewing up your palms. Length of pull runs 14 5/8 inches with a drop of 1 1/2 to 2 1/4 inches, which fits a wide range of folks straight out of the case. Speaking of which, Rizzini ships it in a fitted ABS hard case, so it travels protected from day one.
For upland hunters who want a genuine Italian double with real wood, real engraving, and mechanics that will outlast a lifetime of bird seasons, the BR220 Field in 20 gauge is a hard combination to beat.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the Rizzini BR220 Field have one trigger or two?
It uses a single selective trigger, with the barrel selector built into the safety. That means you can choose which barrel fires first depending on the choke you want up front. It's a more modern setup than traditional double triggers and most folks find it quicker to run in the field.
How heavy is the BR220 Field in 20 gauge, and is it a good carry gun?
The 20 gauge version runs right around 6.4 pounds thanks to a frame that's properly scaled to the gauge rather than a 12 gauge action bored for smaller barrels. That's light enough to carry all day behind a dog without wearing you out, but with enough weight to keep swings smooth and recoil manageable.
What choke tubes come with the Rizzini BR220?
It ships with a full set of five flush-fitting, nickel-coated choke tubes. That gives you plenty of range to set up each barrel for close flushes, longer crossing shots, or a round of sporting clays. The flush design keeps the muzzles clean-looking, which suits the traditional lines of a side-by-side.
Where is the BR220 made?
The BR220 is built by B. Rizzini in the Brescia region of Italy, an area with a long history of fine double gun making. It features box lock mechanics, automatic ejectors, and hand-finished engraving over the receiver. You're getting genuine Italian gunmaking at a much friendlier level than a full custom double.
