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.

Nice Report! Im about to pull the trigger on booking the LDE with Patrick. I have been talking about it with him for about 3 yrs now. Romain hit me up the other day with an offer I can't refuse for 2027.

Andrew, I commented that your on 375 H&H for sale was the fair price.

Like I commented, my classic stainless has the original 24” barrel.

Did you buy yours with the barrel already cut down to 21” or did you do it (or a gunsmith)?

You might have edited your post on the PH in the Bubye. I know the PH and is a wonderful person and a fmaily man and runs a succesful business in Zim and just doesn't want the attention that the internet offers, the ugly kind.
