Lazzeroni rifles

Initially Lazzeroni rifles were made using Remington Model 700 actions, but due to feeding problems and concerns about the action's strength, the company subsequently used a specially modified McBros action with a custom magazine assembly. [1] More recently, the company has used specially made SAKO actions. [1]

Lazzeroni's standard rifle, the L2000ST, has a 27 in (69 cm) barrel and weighs 8 lb (3.6 kg) without a scope. [3] The company's lightweight mountain rifle, the L2000SA, has a 24 in (61 cm) barrel and weighs 6.5 lb (2.9 kg) without a scope. [3]

Lazzeroni propriety cartridges

Lazzeroni has developed a series of propriety short and long, unbelted magnum cartridges. [4] Lazzeroni proprietary cartridges include: [1]
