Hi all,

I am just posting this up for anyone who is interested in this rifle and would like to see it in action since there is not a ton of information on the internet about it. This is me shooting the rifle at approximately 20 yards. I will post the video of my son shooting it as well down below. In my opinion, the rifle recoils as expected and wasn't anything to unmanageable for a caliber of this size. Enjoy!

 
Hi @pigsticker

Thanks for the post. I also have a Rizzini in 470NE. I have used it on elephant and rhino with great results. In the ideal world the rifle is a little light for a 470 but I never felt the kick at the moment of truth on either hunt.

I may have gotten luckily with mine, but my Rizzini 470 is very accurate with DGX/DGX ammo, about 1" or just a bit more at 50 meters off of Viper Flex shooting sticks.

For the money it has turned out to be a very good double for me.

Glad to hear from a fellow owner out there and that you have had a good experience with it. I have purchased both the Hornaday and Barnes in solids and softs to sort out which is the best for this rifle. I can't wait to put it to work in the real world one of these days. Cheers!

Here's the target for the NorthForks - 25yds off a bag, iron sights. Hunting leopards over dogs the range won't be more than that.

Flew in an airshow in Smyrna years ago, beautiful country.

Best regards,

Franco
