The mechanics of the Pernice are more similar to a Perazzi: It has a Boss lock-up and detachable trigger group (that is beautifully machined and finished), which sets it apart from the typical Rizzini/Caesar Guerini/Beretta, etc. Wood grades seem to vary more with the Pernice. I've seen some with rather plain wood (for the price), while others had much more figure and contrast. I have a 28-gauge Pernice that I shoot for skeet, sporting, quail, and dove. I love the Pernice but doubt you can make a wrong choice between the two.
