About the Rizzini BR240 EL
The Rizzini BR240 EL is an Italian over-and-under boxlock sporting shotgun built by Battista Rizzini of Gardone Val Trompia. It uses a steel boxlock action with a low-lug locking bolt, automatic ejectors, and a single selective trigger, and is offered in 12, 20, 28 gauge and .410 bore with 28 to 32 inch barrels, a ventilated tapered top rib, and five flush interchangeable chokes. The EL grade adds a Cerakote-finished receiver with a gold-inlaid BR240 logo and Grade 2.5 Turkish walnut stock with 26 LPI checkering, positioning it as an affordable competition and clay-target gun.
Battista Rizzini's BR240 EL brings the gold-inlaid, Turkish-walnut look of a high-grade Italian competition gun to an entry-level price, making it a common sight on sporting clays ranges as a first serious over-and-under.
