Torbruk Posted December 22, 2014 Report Share Posted December 22, 2014 If it fits you, and you like it, then buy it! I've never used one but I've heard good things about them. Bit of a bargain apparently. There might be some pro-reviews online if you search for them. Good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
clayman Posted December 23, 2014 Report Share Posted December 23, 2014 (edited) These are made by I Rizzini in the FAIR factory in Italy. Originally imported by David Nickerson 1966 - 2007, and on his retirement the agency taken over by John Rothery Wholesale aka Parker-Hale. The gun is sold under different names according to the importer, viz, branded Lincoln if a JRW import, branded Rottweil if a RUAG import, and also some sold under the original factory name of Rizzini, and even a few around branded as Savage who imported these to US. Production is now over 300,000 made. These are all the same guns regardless of the overbranding, and spares easy to get. Widely available in the UK under all these brandings, they are reasonable lower end guns with a full spec - SST, user changeable auto-safe to manual safe ( remove stock and take out "L" bar), chrome lined barrels, full ejector. New they are sold with 3yr warranty. The Premier Basic and the Premier Gold as exactly the same guns mechanically, but the Gold has better wood, gold trigger and side embellishment in the engraved scene, a hard case - about £100 premium on the basic which has no gold, a cardboard box, and varnished wood rather than oiled. The basic also come with only 3 chokes if its M/C while the Gold has five. Over-all, a Premier Gold at £100 odd more does gain a lot over the basic and holds value better, so its worth paying the extra.
