Rizzini Round Body EM — Full-Size 12 Gauge Over/Under Shotgun
Action: Break Action (O/U) • Capacity: 2 rounds • Barrel: 29" vent-rib, field contour • Receiver: Coin-anodized silver round-body • Stock: Grade III Turkish walnut with Prince of Wales grip • Model/SKU: 41011229 • UPC: 853418104408
Classic upland elegance meets modern Italian precision. The Rizzini Round Body EM Full Size 12 Gauge blends a sculpted round-body receiver finished in radiant coin-anodized silver with hand-selected Grade III Turkish walnut—shaped into the time-honored Prince of Wales (POW) grip for fast, instinctive mounts. Its 29" vent-rib barrels deliver a smooth, momentum-rich swing that shines on hard-crossing roosters, tower shoots, and sporting clays. From balance to trigger feel to metal-to-wood fit, this EM exudes the refined performance serious bird hunters and clay aficionados demand.
Why the Round Body EM in 12 Gauge Stands Out
Round-Body Receiver: The gently radiused action reduces bulk, softens edges, and creates a seamless line to the stock—yielding a lively, hand-filling feel that carries all day.
29" Vent-Rib Control: Extra sight plane and steadying mass for silky follow-through on quartering birds and longer crossing targets; the vented rib helps disperse heat on active shoots.
Coin-Anodized Silver Finish: A classic, durable sheen that highlights tasteful engraving and resists field wear.
Grade III Turkish Walnut: Densely figured walnut adds strength and eye appeal; fine checkering enhances wet-weather grip without tearing gloves.
Prince of Wales Grip: A slightly swept, semi-pistol profile that encourages a relaxed wrist and natural mount—perfect for fast upland work and elegant on the clays course.

Field-Ready Advantages You’ll Feel
Natural Pointing: The POW grip and rounded action promote a head-up mount and neutral wrist—your eye becomes the rear sight.
Smooth Swing Dynamics: The 29" barrels carry through the shot, reducing stops and dips that cost birds at distance.
Confidence on Follow-Ups: Crisp trigger timing and predictable recoil recovery keep pairs clean on sporting stands and covey rises.
All-Day Comfort: Thoughtful balance and rounded edges reduce hand fatigue and snagging during long upland walks.
Heirloom Craftsmanship: The wood-to-metal fit and striking walnut figure create a shotgun you’ll be proud to pass down.
Ideal Use Cases
Upland Hunting: Pheasant, chukar, quail, grouse—quick mounts and controlled follow-through in varied terrain.
Sporting Clays / 5-Stand: Elegant manners and sighting plane for repeatable targets and truer leads.
Driven & Tower Shoots: Longer barrels excel at smooth, authoritative swings on high birds.
Choke & Load Pairing (Quick Guide)
Classic Field Setup: More open choke (bottom) for first shots, tighter (top) for follow-ups.
Clay Games: Match constriction to presentation and distance; pattern with your preferred target loads.
Patterning: Confirm POI/POA with each barrel at 30–40 yards to optimize your leads and holds.
Care & Maintenance
Post-Hunt Routine: Run a bore snake or rod with a light solvent; wipe the exterior metal with a silicone cloth.
Walnut Care: Treat the stock with quality oil/wax to seal pores and preserve figure.
Action Health: A drop of fine oil on hinge pins, trunnions, and locking surfaces maintains that signature Rizzini smoothness.
Storage: Store uncocked, in a dry safe, preferably in a breathable gun sock.
