Serious Stopping Power: .500 Nitro Express
At the core of the Rhino Express 7001500 is the .500 Nitro Express, one of the most respected cartridges in the world for heavy and dangerous game.
Massive energy and penetration for large, tough animals at close to moderate ranges
Ideal for African safari, big-game expeditions, and dangerous-game hunts where a decisive second shot matters
2-round side-by-side capacity in a classic express layout for ultra-fast follow-up shots
If you’re planning a serious dangerous-game hunt and want a dedicated double rifle built around a time-proven cartridge, the .500 NE Rhino Express delivers true safari-level performance.
26" Gloss Blued Chrome-Lined Barrels
The 26" barrels on the Rizzini Rhino Express are built for both durability and precision.
Gloss blued finish for a deep, classic look that complements the silver receiver
Chrome-lined steel barrels for corrosion resistance, easier cleaning, and extended barrel life with heavy loads
Side-by-side, break-open double rifle configuration for traditional handling and balance
Each rifle is regulated at 50 yards so both barrels print together – a must-have feature in a true dangerous-game double rifle
The combination of a 26" length and expert regulation delivers impressive downrange performance while keeping the rifle quick to shoulder in dense cover.
Coin Anodized Silver Engraved Steel Receiver
Visually, the Rhino Express 7001500 is as much a work of art as it is a working rifle.
Steel receiver finished in coin anodized silver for a bright, elegant contrast to the barrels
Detailed engraving featuring scrollwork and “Big Five” dangerous-game scenes, meticulously hand-finished to highlight depth and detail
Engraved accents on the trigger guard and frame, reflecting Rizzini’s reputation for impeccable fit and finish
This is a rifle you’ll be proud to carry in the field and equally proud to display at home.
Hand-Selected Oiled Turkish Walnut Stock
Every Rizzini Rhino Express wears hand-selected Turkish walnut that’s upgraded to approximately a #3 grade, giving each rifle a unique, high-figure grain pattern.
Key stock details:
Oiled Turkish walnut fixed stock with rich color and natural figure
Pistol grip design for a secure hold under stout recoil
Fine checkering on both the grip and forend for improved control in wet, hot, or gloved conditions
Classic drop dimensions – around 1½" at comb and 2¼" at heel – and roughly 14.63" length of pull for comfortable, repeatable mounting
The oiled finish not only enhances the wood’s beauty but also makes maintenance straightforward after demanding hunts.
Ambidextrous Layout with Double Triggers
The Rhino Express is configured to be used effectively by both right- and left-handed shooters.
Ambidextrous design thanks to its straight-over-bore sight line, tang safety, and double-trigger layout
Double triggers allow independent control of each barrel – a classic and highly trusted setup for dangerous-game rifles
Manual thumb/tang safety for intuitive operation under pressure
This traditional control system supports lightning-fast second shots and instinctive manipulation in high-stress situations.
Open Express Sights with Flip-Up Leafs
A proper dangerous-game rifle demands fast, rugged sights. Rizzini equips the Rhino Express with a classic express-sight system:
Open rear sights with flip-up leafs, optimized for different ranges
Highly visible orange front bead for instant target acquisition against dark hides or shaded backgrounds
Sights regulated to the rifle’s .500 NE ballistics and barrel regulation distance, helping ensure both barrels strike where you expect
These sights are built for real-world hunting conditions, not just bench shooting.
Balanced Weight and Recoil Management
Despite the power of the .500 Nitro Express, the Rhino Express remains controllable and balanced.
Approximate weight: 9.6 lb unloaded – enough mass to help manage recoil without making the rifle unwieldy
Full-size frame and 26" barrels deliver smooth swing and stable off-hand shooting
Side-by-side configuration provides a natural, shotgun-like pointability that many hunters prefer for close-range encounters
The result is a rifle that inspires confidence, even when the shot counts the most.
Reliable Break-Open Double Rifle with Ejectors/Extractors
The Rizzini Rhino Express is built around a break-open double rifle action known for simplicity and ruggedness.
Available with ejectors or extractors (configuration-dependent) to ensure reliable performance
Manual thumb safety and robust locking system for secure closure under heavy loads
Designed from the ground up as a dangerous-game platform, not a repurposed sporting action
For hunters who value absolute reliability over complexity, a quality double rifle like the Rhino Express is tough to beat.
Includes Rizzini ABS Case
A rifle of this caliber and craftsmanship deserves proper protection. Many configurations of the 7001500 Rhino Express include a fitted Rizzini ABS hard case:
Provides secure storage and transport
Helps protect the rifle from bumps, dings, and environmental damage during travel
Complements the premium nature of the firearm
