Our Assessment: Perazzi sounds like a high end sports car, and in the gun world it is. They have long been a staple of just about any kind of shotgun sport you can name, famous for their craftsmanship, beauty and durability. As such, they command a high price, with some buyers going all the way to Italy to be measured in person so that their gun can be specially and exactly fit to them. That said, like a high-end sports car, it can be much more economical to buy used. This SC1 is in Very Good condition with wear consistent with extensive and responsible use. The finish has wear, but the bores are bright and the mechanics are strong. This gun locks up like a bank vault and has years of use ahead of it. Just be careful, once you have one Perazzi you’ll want another. Please see our photos and good luck!
