LEDE Rizzini BR220 Limited

Cole Fine Guns and Gunsmithing has introduced the Cole Exclusive Rizzini BR220 Limited 28-gauge/29-inch just in time for hunting season. Created through the partnership between Cole Fine Guns and Gunsmithing Founder Rich Cole and trusted Italian shotgun manufacturer B. Rizzini, this Cole Exclusive meticulously balances traditional elegance with field performance.

While visiting the Rizzini factory in Brescia, Italy last year, Rich Cole was able to work with the B. Rizzini team to create the ultimate upland bird over/under shotgun. Through detailed planning and a combination of experience in the luxury shotgun space, Cole and Rizzini were able to bring this vision to life with the Cole Exclusive Rizzini BR220 Limited. This one-of-a-kind upland bird shotgun features a case color receiver and grade 3+ Prince of Wales stock hand selected by Rich Cole, as well as a traditional red pad and solid top rib. Serving as a culmination of craftsmanship, elegance and field-ready performance, the Cole Exclusive Rizzini BR220 Limited showcases the finest work from both Cole Gunsmithing and Rizzini. New for Fall 2025, this very limited production run of only 25 shotguns is set to be a must-have for discerning enthusiasts.

“At Cole Gunsmithing, we’ve always been committed to offering shotguns that deliver exceptional quality and craftsmanship, and this partnership with B. Rizzini has allowed us to bring that commitment to the next level,” said Rich Cole, Owner of Cole Gunsmithing. “The Cole Exclusive Rizzini BR220 Limited is a reflection of the combined expertise and passion from our teams, intentionally designed to meet the demands of upland hunters who value both tradition and precision. Careful attention and thought were put into every detail to create a shotgun that performs as beautifully as it looks.”
