Lazzeroni Arms Company is a US firearms and firearm cartridge maker based in Tucson, Arizona. Lazzeroni was founded by John Lazzeroni and is known for designing and producing long range hunting rifles and high speed cartridges.[1][2]

Lazzeroni rifles

[edit]

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]
