keeper96 Posted January 17, 2019 Report Share Posted January 17, 2019 Hello, does anyone have any experience of the perdix? I believe they're made by b rizzini so should be decent? The looks and some reviews I've read so far are tempting, as is the price for a custom fitted gun. Thanks jamie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JohnfromUK Posted January 17, 2019 Report Share Posted January 17, 2019 I believe you are correct with Batista(?) Rizzini. (The s/s guns used to be by Arrietta). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dave at kelton Posted January 17, 2019 Report Share Posted January 17, 2019 Cannot comment on the perdix but have two Macnabs made by B Rizzini and they are good guns. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks jamie You should just go direct to B Rizinni They will custom fit a gun to you in your spec ie an Artemis There was a thread on here a year or two back by someone who went through William Powell and it ended up heading through the courts Plus it will probably be cheaper and you may get a trip round their factory ( unless you want the the William Powell name on ) 2 minutes ago, Dave at kelton said: Cannot comment on the perdix but have two Macnabs made by B Rizzini and they are good guns.

sabel25 Posted January 17, 2019 Report Share Posted January 17, 2019 Depends where you are if you're looking for your nearest dealer You can google them as there are a few up and down the country Honesberie shooting school castleguns here in the N East I would steer clear of sportsmanguncentre if you're after a game gun go for an Artemis with solid top rib depending on your budget and preference But that would be my next gun on my list But i am an avid caesaer Guerini man All the Italian O/U guns were and are based on the best English O/U guns of the early 20 century and were made for the English market as were the Spanish SxS'ds Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll speak to castle guns as I'm in the north east but if there's a stand out dealer elsewhere then I would travel as this is a big sum of money for me.

I too have a Macnab Highlander (B.Rizzini) and cannot fault them. Have had three in all. There are a couple of nice sideplated Highlanders on Guntrader at less than half the price of a Perdix so would allow plenty of money to have them fitted. Just a thought.

seeker Posted January 18, 2019 Report Share Posted January 18, 2019 I have a B, Rizzini 28 gauge round body and it's an excellent gun. The advice on a solid rib for a game gun is well worth considering. Mine came from Eldekins of Spalding, a good old fashioned gunshop and gunsmith but may be a bit distant for you. If you're not planning to deal directly with Rizzini maybe a call to the importers at ASI and asking about the fitting/ custom option might be worthwhile. Whilst they're trade only I've found them very helpful and a pleasure to deal with. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
