Description
There's something about a sub-gauge sporting gun done right, and the Rizzini BR240 in 20 gauge is a great example of the breed. Built in the Brescia region of northern Italy, where Rizzini has been making break-action shotguns since 1966, the BR240 sits in the middle of the company's competition lineup, above the BR110 and below the BR460. What that means in practical terms is you get real target-gun features, like automatic ejectors, a single selective trigger, and a low-lug locking system, wrapped in a gun that still looks the part with a gold BR240 logo set against a cleanly finished steel receiver.
Why the 32-Inch BR240 Swings So Well
The 32-inch barrel set is the draw here, especially in 20 gauge. Long tubes on a lighter sub-gauge frame give you a stretched sighting plane and a deliberate, steady swing that helps on crossers and long presentations, without the gun feeling like a fence post. The nickel chrome steel barrels are built on a proven monoblock design, topped with a tapered rib and a white front bead. Screw in any of the five included nickel-coated flush chokes and you can set the gun up for everything from close skeet-style pairs to stretched-out sporting targets.
Walnut, Checkering, and the Details Rizzini Gets Right
The Grade 2.5 Turkish walnut stock wears fine 26 lines-per-inch checkering on both the pistol grip and the rounded forend, which gives you a secure hold that still looks refined. The comb is adjustable, so you can dial in your fit as your form and mounting style evolve, something clays regulars will appreciate over hundreds of rounds a weekend. It all packs into a fitted Rizzini ABS hard case for travel between the club and home.
Where the BR240 Sporting 20 Gauge Fits
This is a gun for the shooter who runs sporting clays regularly and wants sub-gauge challenge with full-size handling, or anyone building out a serious 20 gauge for league nights and the occasional tournament. It's a lot of Italian gunmaking in a package built to be shot, not just admired.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Rizzini BR240 Sporting a good gun for sporting clays competition?
That's exactly what it's built for. The BR240 sits in the middle of Rizzini's competition line with automatic ejectors, a single selective trigger, and a long 32-inch barrel set that smooths out your swing on crossing targets. It's well suited to league shooting, regular practice, and tournament weekends alike.
Why choose a 20 gauge with 32-inch barrels instead of a 12 gauge?
A lot of clays regulars are moving to sub-gauge guns for the added challenge and softer shooting, and the long barrels keep the handling from feeling whippy. You get the extended sighting plane and momentum of a full-size target gun with less recoil over a long day. It also makes a great second gun for shooters who already compete with a 12.
Does the BR240 come with choke tubes and a case?
Yes. This model ships with five nickel-coated flush-fit choke tubes, giving you plenty of range to pattern for different target presentations. It also includes a fitted Rizzini ABS hard case for storage and travel.
Does the Rizzini BR240 have an adjustable comb?
This configuration includes an adjustable comb on the Grade 2.5 Turkish walnut stock. That lets you fine-tune the comb height for proper eye alignment down the rib, which is a big advantage for consistent scores. It's a feature usually reserved for dedicated target guns.
