The Perazzi MR57 is a premium over/under 12 gauge that premiered at the British Shooting Show in February 2026. Named in honor of Mauro and Roberta Perazzi, it is designed for both elite clay shooting and field performance, emphasizing a unique “rear-balanced” configuration.
Key Features and Specifications
- Action & Build: A 12-gauge over-and-under featuring a redesigned receiver with sharp, facetted lines that lower the center of gravity.
- Balance & Handling: Utilizes a rearward weight distribution to enhance fluidity and responsiveness during the shot cycle, reducing felt recoil by up to 50%.
- Barrels & Chokes: In-house manufactured steel alloy barrels typically 30–32 inches in length. It features redesigned forcing cones and offers both fixed and ultra-light interchangeable choke options.
- Aesthetics: Available in nickel-plated or blued finishes with a large logo engraved on the receiver.
- Customization: Like most high-end Perazzi models, it includes a bespoke, hand-fitted walnut stock tailored to the individual shooter’s dimensions.
Market Positioning and Pricing
The MR57 is positioned as a competitor to high-end models like the Beretta SL2. While early rumors suggested a starting price around €7,000–€8,000, more recent expert reviews and dealer listings indicate a base price closer to £15,000 ($19,000–$22,000 USD), with highly customized versions exceeding £18,000.
