About the Rizzini Round Body Regal
The Rizzini Round Body Regal is an Italian over/under break-action shotgun built by Battista Rizzini of Marcheno in the Val Trompia gunmaking region of Brescia. Built on a low-profile steel round-body boxlock frame with sideplates, it pairs automatic ejectors and a single selective trigger with chrome-lined barrels, a solid rib and five flush choke tubes. The Regal is dressed with Grade 3 Turkish walnut, a Prince of Wales grip, fine-line checkering and ornamental round-body scroll engraving over a coin or case-hardened finish. Offered in 12, 16, 20, 28 gauge and .410 bore, the light 28-gauge gun is favoured as an upland and game shotgun.
The Rizzini name traces to the Val Trompia gunmaking valley near Brescia, Italy, long the heart of Italian fine-gun craftsmanship; Battista Rizzini founded his firm there in 1966 and the company has specialised in over/under and side-by-side break-action shotguns ever since.
