- Amazingly this is our first look at a Perazzi here on the @eastfieldgunroom channel. Since the birth of the company in 1957 and subsequently an incredible world record 198/200 at the 1964 Tokyo Olympics, the company has gone from strength to strength.
Hugely respected and regarded globally for the 'feel' and handling that the guns offer Perazzi are masters in the art of being exact and tailor making affordable premium shotguns to the shooters exact requirements. The Perazzi end user can choose from several barrel lengths, dozens of barrel and rib configurations as well as all kinds of breathtaking engraving styles.For Perazzi producing custom woodwork and manufacturing to the bespoke requirements of the customer is something that they have undoubtedly made their own and in many ways particularly in Italy, have pioneered.
In this review Matthew looks at a beautiful SC3 sporting variant of the MX8 from the late 1990's.
Hi, Matt, very interesting video, however I believe that when Signore Mattarelli (still alive by the way) won the Trap Gold medal in the Tokyo Olympics 1964, he accomplished that with a sidelock version of a Boss action over and under made by the existing partnership of Daniel Perazzi and Ivo Fabbri, who were partners until 1965. Signore Fabbri left to explore exclusivily the sidelock over and under venue. My understanding is that AFTER winning the Gold in 1964, Mattarelli felt that a side lock design was somewhat too complicated and fragile for a modern pure competition gun. So, along with Daniel Perazzi, they designed what became the MX8 for the 1968 Olympics in Mexico CIty with its famous removable trigger assembly and removable chokes. Unfortunately, Signore Mattarelli did not win Gold in 1968, but the MX8 went on to become one of the most successful competitive shotguns in the history of the sport. Years later, Signore Mattarelli designed a refinement of the MX8 for the German conglomerate, R.W.S., called the Paragon, which embodied all of which he learned from the MX8 experience.............but as brillant as it was, it was not a commercial or competitive success.
Very interesting
Thank you for your comment and the information. Great knowledge. Kind regards, Matthew
simply stunning
Really great video.always liked the look of them.
Very nice. And I am glad they still make them. But it brings back memories of living in North Italy when bird hunting season starts. The Italians are crazy around their shotguns, and Not in a safe way! The radio and newspaper s used to give warnings about going into the woods and brush. And a fair number of people Were accidentally shot.
Great review of a fine target gun. Perazzi do still make the P4 adjustable triggers too. They obviously will make whatever your heart and pocket book desires. I love mine. They are superb guns that really hold their value. Thanks for a great video !!!
Thank you for your comment, I am pleased that you enjoyed the video. You are correct about the MX4, a gun that slipped my mind at the time. Kind regards, Matthew
Absolutely Gorgeous.
Wonderfully composed shotgun! I've always been a fan of Perazzi but sadly have never owned one. Perazzi and Kreighoff faced off in American skeet back during the advent of 4-barrel sets. Sadly again, Perazzi was deemed to be soft by many Americans partially due to the fact they had removeable/replaceable triggers and were sent with parts to fix your gun without seeking out a gunsmith.🤔 One analogy I heard was "it's like Ford shipping an extra engine with each new car". It is hilarious to me that detachable triggers are so mainstream now and are a demanded specification by some shooters. Perazzi also continued to lose market share here due to Hal DuPont (yes, those DuPont's) partnering with Kreighoff and offering financing on K32/K80 shotguns to help the common man acquire a high quality, legacy clay crusher. Thanks for bringing this gun to light!
Well said, couldn't agree more , l wouldn't take too much notice of American opinion, when it comes to shotguns.
@@Bunduki Thank you... I think? The conundrum we are dealing with here is the fact I am an American.😄
Very interesting
Hi Matt. Another great review of a Classic Gun. I was, however, interested in your comment that the barrels are Crome lined. I have always been lead to believe that Perazzi dont Crome their barrels? So you have to clean them after shooting.
Thank you for your comment. I am pleased that you enjoyed the video. Honestly I have no idea why I said that (it just rolled off the tongue 😂). Yes indeed that is why they are susceptible to rusting/pitting. Kind regards, Matthew
Lovely gun!

P4 is Perazzi‘s adjustable trigger.
Great review on a great gun!
Thank you for your comment and kind words. I had forgotten about the MX4. I remember the adjustable trigger on those now. Kind regards, Matthew
Nice review 👌
Thank you for your comment. I am pleased that you enjoyed the video. Kind regards, Matthew
Leaf spring triggers are just so crisp there’s not much better then a perazzi leaf spring trigger being able to spec the barrel weights and l bore is what is most appealing to me the barrels make the gun in terms of handing and performance
My MX4 has a removable trigger which IS adjustable. It will also fit the MX8.
Got one myself ...1985, ported top barrel and fires top barrel first! also Teagued..super thing for the money.
Thank you for your comment. I had forgotten about the old MX4. Nice use of capital letters. Kind regards, Matthew
Good Vid, Have a MX4 (Brought off u 100 yrs ago) has adjst trigger!! + detach trigger group..C yous soon...`M`
Can’t afford the Prancing Horse but a secondhand Perazzi is on my retirement list.
Thank you for your comment Phil. Just shout me when you have that retirement party 😀. Kind regards, Matthew
Nice ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
