Larryguy,
Like I said, I really enjoyed the gun alot, just seemed that I was using it more for clays than hunting. When it came to picking a gun to take along hunting, I usually took another gun, by no fault of the Rizzini, just so happens that 99% of the time I took a SxS or model 12 into the field. For high volume shooting, I think the Rizzini is a little too light and the balance of my gun was in between the hands (even with the 30" bbls), perfect for a hunting gun, but on a clays gun or dedicated dove gun, I like the balance to be just a tiny bit forward, not alot, but just a tiny bit. I owned my Rizzini for around 3 years and when I sold it, it opened and closed like a Ruger Red Label, but the lever was in the center and the gun still tight and on face. Nothing went wrong with the gun when I owned it, trouble free. I did have the gun apart one time to see what the internals looked like, nothing special, nothing fancy, pretty robust, but parts were starting to show some wear, especially the locking bolt.
Like I said, I wouldn't hesitate to own another B. Rizzini, they are nice guns and they make great field guns.
Ken Nelson,
I absolutey love my Z-gun. I have a 20 bore, Z-gun Expedition with 29.5" bbls. I like the aesthetics of the gun and the handling is exactly what I wanted, I have made no alterations to the gun and I shoot it well. I personally think its one of the "steals" out there in the gun market, it oozes quality and its built like a tank, its loaded with options that would cost alot of dollars from other makers, the barrels (which Zoli makes in house) are absolutely perfect. Rich Cole gave me a quick over the phone tutorial on the Z-gun and I was sold in about 15 minutes, he thinks very highly of them and I can see why. The Zoli is highly thought of in Europe as well, its been a winner across the pond for awhile now..its called the "Zoli Kronos" over there. Try one out, I think you'll like it.
