There's a new sxs 16 gauge offering. This time from B.Rizzini. It's BR 550 sxs was formerly only available in .410, 28 and 20 gauge to my knowledge. It's a looker:

For the money these look a lot nicer than the new "FOX A Grade" sold by Savage. I am guessing that the Rizzini guns are still built in Italy and not Turkey.

Yes....B. Rizzini guns made in Italy. Company made its name and reputation in high quality production O/Us and has quietly introduced sxs guns into the lineup.

I have a 16 Gauge FAIR Iside SxS, which if one of the Rizzini Family of Shotguns. I like the gun, those this model has much nicer wood than mine. But than again it price was only $1,700.00 with screw in chokes and a single select trigger, all the things I wanted.

I may have missed it. Any weight listed for 16 gauge. I kind of like it as shown. Wouldn't mind double triggers. .

I would imagine these are on true 16 gauge frames, or perhaps even 20 gauge frames, since B. Rizzini does not offer any of its sxs in 12 gauge -- just .410, 28, and 20 to this point, until now in 16.

I know, what's with that? I'd have to sell most of my guns to get one, and still end up with a gun I'd have to modify. Beautiful gun though regardless.

The more new models of 16 gauge of any kind introduced the better -- whether that's boutique B. Rizzini or mass produced Brownings. There is no denying the gauge is making a comeback. Now, if those mass retailers can start carrying a bit of quality 16 gauge ammo, including non-toxic offerings ....

YES. Would it be so hard to offer a 16ga steel load in 7's or 6's for dove/quail/snipe in no tox areas?

You would think that would be a no brainer. "Let's ponder this; the vast majority of 16 gauge guns are used for upland bird hunting and dove hunters buy the most ammo... so let's just make a couple duck loads and ignore this fact" say the manufacturers.
