If you go the custom route you can choose your bore size usual standard size for most Perazzi is .724/18.4 of several right ups on the Hi Tech they all list an 18.5/.728 bore size including RUAG the importers site.The only difference between the Hi-Tech bores and previous guns like MX-8 and so on is that the bores are 0.732" and not the one-time standard with them, 0.740' (or so). This provides, according to an interview I saw, the unlikely combination of reduced recoil and increased penetration.
In a way, I'll bet they do, at least the latter part!

I've not seen any new ones but I've seen a number of older Perazzis and I have never seen a chrome anything.An interesting debate , especially Neil Winston's findings .
When we consider that under British Proof rules the Beretta DT11 when introduced was technically in the 11 bore dimensions making it illegal for clay shooting . But maybe Beretta do have indluence on the proof regulations?
I would suggest that poor taste is indeed a recognized level of taste and has been the basis of any number of fashionable trends. Fortunately for many the rules surrounding gun use/ownership do not include any stipulations of refined good taste."However the fashionable gun for pheasants at present appears to be a Krieghoff Parcours" fashion and taste 2 very different things :wink:
I believe this to be the case, however the bores are mirror polished so one would be hard pressed to tell the difference chrome or not..I don't believe any Perazzi have chrome lined barrels,is this a problem for you?
Quite likely since they have a branch of the Italian Proof House on the premises and the Italian proofing standard is accepted in the UK without the need to reproof.But maybe Beretta do have influence on the proof regulations?
Just for the record, "chamberless" .800" bore shotguns existed at the turn of the 20th century. With all the attached hype that Baker, et al, conjured up nearly 100 years later.One last thing. The videos show that prior to muzzle exit (defined by a puff of smoke about three frames into the recoil event) the gun just moves straight back, muzzle-rise beginning later. I compare this to the belief in the UK that "muzzle-flip" causes shotguns to shoot lower than geometry would predict. I wonder what about a gun moving straight back could cause it to bend down.
No, on this I do not agree. Many times in many places I've noted that I took a nearly unshootable slap-wise SxS Beretta and made it a pleasure to shoot by doing nothing more than reducing a staggering (thanks to the prior owner) nearly 8" of downpitch to 0". Perhaps some planetary realignment may have been the actual causal factor but all I was aware of was the zip pitch factor. And I already mentioned to you in another place that I think your pitch experiment is flawed by the meat interface element.I think you will agree with me that improper pitch is not a causative variable in cheek slap.
I think it more likely that nobody actually GAF about some arcane limiting dimension. I could of course be worng. The puzzling aspect to me is why the factories handicap themselves and their clients with those bigger bores when the folks who are really in the know have long time realized the harder hitting quality of 18.4 bores. Just another of those Mysteries of the Cosmos innit?But maybe Beretta do have indluence on the proof regulations?
