Well thanks to a member here and John Boyd in Houston, my new Rizinni SxS in 16 Gauge will be going to the club with me for the first time today. I am looking forward to Testing it with a few rounds of Skeet.
I will post pictures as soon as I take some.

I opened the box, all was there, installed the two Cylinder Bore chokes that it came with (they do not offer one in Skeet and the design differs greatly from all the other chokes I have) cleaned what little packing grease there was, lubed it up and headed out to the Skeet field.
The auto safety feature has to go and I think I am going to have a thin sporting pad put on the gun without modifying the butts stock, so it can be returned to "As from the Factory" (Just beat up my old shoulder too much).
I thought with a new gun and a side by side to boot, my pair of 22s, was not bad.
Now to figure out how to post pictures here. The wood is nothing to brag about and the trigger is just OK, but I would bet that this will see less than a couple hundred rounds a year. The wood to metal fit though was outstanding and it seems to shoot exactly where I point it.

Great report, thank you
and the 22s are wonderful scores
If you will put your pictures on a web hoster like
www.tinypic.com
I will show you how to post them here
So, how much does the gun weigh?
Is is heavy like a skeet gun or light like a hunting gun?

Thanks for the Heads Up on TinyPic.com. I think I know what to do if I get a new hosting site, but if it doesn't work I will for sure ask for your help.
