The Rizzini Venus Ladies Sporter delivers precision clay target performance in a compact frame specifically engineered for smaller-statured shooters. This 12-gauge break-action shotgun combines Italian craftsmanship with thoughtful ergonomics to create a competition-ready platform that doesn't compromise on power or accuracy.
What Makes This Different
Unlike standard sporting shotguns, the Venus features a shortened length of pull and reduced overall dimensions without sacrificing barrel length or swing dynamics. The coin-finished steel receiver showcases hand-engraved detailing that reflects Rizzini's heritage of fine gunmaking. The 30-inch ventilated rib barrel maintains optimal sight radius while the compact stock geometry reduces felt recoil through improved shooter alignment.
Key Features
- Compact stock design with 13.5-inch length of pull for improved fit
- 30-inch gloss blued barrel with ventilated rib for heat dissipation
- Hand-engraved coin-finished steel receiver with silver accents
- Grade 2+ Turkish walnut stock with pistol grip configuration
- Single selective trigger with barrel selector mechanism
- Automatic ejectors for rapid shell extraction
- 3-inch chamber capability for versatile load options
The Venus excels in sporting clays and trap competitions where consistent mount and smooth swing are critical. The balanced weight distribution reduces muzzle flip between targets, while the selective trigger allows instant barrel choice for different presentations. Weather-resistant finishes protect against moisture and handling wear during extended shooting sessions.
