Also known as: Perazzi HTS, High Tech S Sporting
Overview
The Perazzi High Tech S is a premium Italian over-and-under break-action competition shotgun chambered in 12 gauge, built for sporting clays. It is a fixed-trigger 'S' frame member of the High Tech family, distinguished by a Boss-style inertia boxlock action that is roughly 3 mm wider than other Perazzi receivers, shifting the gun's balance for high-volume sporting use. The High Tech S carries 32-inch monobloc barrels with a vented mid-rib and tapering top rib, fixed chokes, and a hand-fitted walnut stock, each gun largely hand-built at Perazzi's Botticino workshop.

Notes
The 'S' designation denotes the fixed (non-selective) trigger frame, as opposed to High Tech variants offered with a selectable or adjustable removable trigger group. Barrel length, rib, choke and stock dimensions are made to order and vary by customer.
Background
Perazzi, founded in 1957 by Daniele Perazzi, became a dominant force in Olympic shotgun shooting; its hand-fitted detachable triggers are a signature of the marque. The High Tech S extends that competition pedigree to the sporting clays discipline with a wider, stiffer action.
