Description
There is something special about a 28 gauge built on a true small frame, and the Rizzini Aurum EVO gets it right. Instead of hanging sub-gauge barrels on a 20 gauge action, Rizzini scales the frame to the bore, which keeps this gun at a feathery 5.9 pounds and gives it the lively, between-the-hands balance upland hunters chase. The EVO is the upgraded evolution of the long-running Aurum field gun, and it earns the name with an enhanced game scene and ornamental scroll engraving across the coin finish receiver, plus a step up in wood over Rizzini's BR110 line.
Wood and Engraving That Set the Aurum EVO Apart
The grade 2.5 Turkish walnut stock wears a rounded Prince of Wales grip, and it is one of the best features on the gun. The gentle slope of that half-pistol grip gives you a natural reach to the trigger with almost English-stock feel, while the rounded forend and 26 lines-per-inch checkering keep everything secure without chewing up your hands. Stock dimensions run 14 5/8 inches length of pull with 1 1/2 to 2 1/4 inch drops, numbers that fit a wide range of wingshooters right out of the case.
Proven Rizzini Mechanics Underneath
Under the engraving is Rizzini's time-tested boxlock action with automatic ejectors that toss hulls with authority and a single selective trigger so you can pick your barrel on the fly. The 28 inch nickel chrome steel barrels carry a vented top rib and 3 inch chambers, and five flush-fit nickel coated choke tubes let you set up for everything from close woodcock cover to late season pheasants. A Rizzini ABS hard case keeps it all protected between hunts.
For grouse trails, quail plantations, dove fields, or a relaxed round of skeet, this is the kind of 28 gauge that gets handed down rather than traded in.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Rizzini Aurum EVO 28 gauge built on a true small frame?
Yes. Rizzini scales its frames to the gauge, and the 28 gauge Aurum EVO rides on a small frame shared with the .410 rather than a bulked-up 20 gauge action. That is a big part of why it weighs just 5.9 pounds and swings so quickly on flushing birds.
What choke tubes come with the Aurum EVO?
It ships with five flush-fit, nickel coated choke tubes covering the standard constrictions from Cylinder through Full, plus a wrench. That range lets you set the gun up for tight cover, open fields, or clays without buying anything extra.
How is the Aurum EVO different from the Rizzini BR110?
The Aurum EVO steps up in both wood and decoration. It wears a select grade 2.5 Turkish walnut stock with a Prince of Wales grip, and the receiver carries an enhanced game scene plus ornamental scroll engraving that the BR110 workhorse line does not. Mechanically it shares Rizzini's proven boxlock action, automatic ejectors, and single selective trigger.
Is this a good choice for upland bird hunting?
It is exactly what this gun was built for. The light weight, 28 inch barrels, and lively small-frame balance make it a joy to carry on long walks for grouse, quail, woodcock, or doves. The 3 inch chambers and included choke set also give you flexibility for heavier 28 gauge loads when the situation calls for it.
