Confusion here on the Z-R's. They're not the current Rizzinis. These are the guns imported by Abercrombie & Fitch back in the 60's and 70's. The Rizzini involved, as I recall, was Guido. Same family, but not the same company as either B. or I. (FAIR) Rizzini. The Z-R guns were not alloy.

Tracking the inter-relationships of Italian makers is even more confusing than trying to understand Italian wines.
That is an impressive weight for a steel receiver gun. I wonder how well they hold up to consistent use, even if with 3/4 oz loads.
Such a long, long time to be gone, and a short time to be there.

Following Greener's "rule of 96" (the gun should weigh at least 96 times the weight of the shot charge fired through it), a 28 gauge firing the standard 3/4 oz load could weigh as little as 4 1/2 pounds.

LB,
I'd hate to have a 28g that light. My repro with std skeet AA loads is sharp enough kicking at 5 1/2 lbs. And I'm pretty sure I couldn't shoot well with a gun that light.

"Too light" is why I passed on it, Chuck.
