Does anyone have real world experience with Rizzini Double rifles they would like to share?
 
I think that’s going to be @gizmo ‘s territory…

Do i ever. My first DR (I have owned 8) was a 470 NE Rizzini. Horrible recoil due to their not understanding the concept of having the right weight for caliber. My rifle weighed 9.3 pounds. My Rigby weighs 11 pounds. My Rizzini kicked me to death. I sold it in 2 weeks of my buying it. Also the engraving is extremely poor. They make a great shot gun…They should stay away from DRs
 
Jerry Noblin bought one in 500 nitro and had many issues with it.
 
Their safari class doubles are way to light!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have shot their smaller 30/06 and 45/70 and both shot well (not my rifles so no experience on how rey hold up) . but like @Rare Breed mentioned their engraving was sub standard etc.

To my way of thinking they are a step above sabatti's and a notch or two below the other options out there.
 
Sadly, quite a few makers of double rifles today make them too light.. Take a look at Guns International..several .600 doubles weighing some 13lbs..they should weigh in at 15-16lbs to be usable..

Did you enjoy your black powder buffalo hunt?
Any report about the hunt here on African Hunting .com?

Not sure your price range. Have a 375 H&H with a muzzle brake. Nice rifle only fired a few times. Also a Mossberg 375 Ruger its been used and shows a few hunts on it.
