THIS TEST features a Rizzini BR550 side-by-side 16-bore. Weighing a handy 6lb 5oz, it has 30in barrels, a single selective trigger, concave rib, multichokes and an open radius pistol grip (28in barrels are an option, as are a straight-hand stock and double trigger). With a laser scroll-engraved action that is scalloped to the rear, the proportions and decoration please. It is built on the same action as the Rizzini 20-bore (the firm uses three actions: .410/28-bore, 20-/16-bore and 12-bore). This keeps the weight down and contributes to graceful styling such as that seen in the Rizzini Artemis Light over-and-under, which weighed only 6lb 4oz
