Does anyone know the difference aside from the aesthetics .. or, simply any experience with either.

Many Thanks!!!

My understanding is the 552 has the side plates added. Other than that it is the same as the 550. They feel nice in the hand but I want a beavertail fore end which you can order.
 
So what are we looking at here? Hard to tell from the elongation in the photo angle.
This was a 2nd hand Fabarm "Beta Classic"
There's not much out there about them .. but it fit so well, I ended up snagging it. 28". $1K

Are you looking, or prefer that 550? .. just curious if you care to share.
I haven't seen either in person ..
 
I haven’t shot a rizzini sxs… but there are a number of shooters I know that shoot the O/Us… they’re exceptional for the price point IMO…

I got very close to buying one just a couple of weeks ago for sporting clays… but found a great deal on a webley & scott (we already own webley o/u’s and are very familiar and happy with them)… so I went that direction instead..

It was very hard to resist the rizzini though.. I might still end up with one in the safe if I am not careful…
 
Assuming the 550 is a Round Body & the 52 to the contrary. Beautiful double.

Just moving to DM. Yes, please ask your friend if he knows somebody who might be willing to support a persistent hunt in the snow.

Hi Paul,
This is Daniel from Mankazana Safaris.

I saw your post regarding a hunt in Africa. I am sure you have been bombarded with messages and replies from other outfitters, so I will keep this one quick.
I have a feeling we have exactly what you need for a first safari.
If you'd like to hear more, please don't hesitate to reach out.

Yours sincerely,
