About
What it is, and why it matters
The Perazzi MX2000/S is the sporting-clays configuration of Perazzi's MX2000 competition over/under, a hand-built Italian break-action shotgun chambered in 12 gauge. Like the rest of the MX2000 family it is built on Perazzi's boxlock action with a detachable (drop-out) trigger group, but the /S is set up for the sporting discipline with a ventilated tapered rib and interchangeable chokes rather than the high adjustable trap rib of its trap-oriented siblings. Each gun is fitted to order with a walnut stock and beavertail forend, and the model has been carried by Olympic and world-class clay competitors since its introduction around 2000.
Perazzi has supplied Olympic clay-shooting medallists for decades, and the MX2000/S appears in the kit lists of international sporting and double-trap competitors who value the platform's swappable trigger group.
The MX2000/S sits in the MX2000 line alongside the MX2000/3, MX2000/8 and MX2005; the '/S' denotes the sporting setup. Because Perazzi guns are made to order, barrel length (commonly around 29.5-31.5 in / 750-800 mm), weight and choke/rib options vary by individual gun; the figures here are representative of a sporting build.

Trajectory
What the round does downrange
Solved from the muzzle figures and the bullet. The dashed rule is the effective range on the record, and the crosses are the steps the solver returned.
No load solved for this record yetThe flight path is computed from a cartridge and a bullet. This record has no ammunition filed against its chambering, so there is nothing to solve.
