Nice rifle. It looks a rifle that is begging to hunt. Well done

Beautiful rifle. You better not let your wife see how much oil you got on her mattress.

That is a very beautiful rifle Jorge. Congratulations and the best of luck to hunting with it. It is very British looking, quite proper don't you know. How long are the barrels?

I had them made at 25" And I specifically wanted the Brit influence, hence the CCH and straight lined box lock.

Really nice! I can't wait to see it in the flesh. I wonder how many rounds and how much recoil before it knocks the grin off of your face?

Well I put over 200 rounds through the Sabbati! Jeff like I said previously, this rifle fits me like no other and the idea of a 450NE can be housed in a slimmer-trimmer action that the 470s and give up nothing in power is also true in spades. This rifle feels like a 410. They also did a real nice job in rounding the receiver bottom so there are no sharp edges. I might bring it to Dallas and let Ken show it at his booth with the pricess as the "shill"

jorge, that is a really sweet rifle. Just exactly right for a hunting rifle. It will look good across the bosses of a few buffalo. I look forward to that picture. But have another set of barrels made - in .45-70 of course

375 flanged does not sound unreasonable for a squirrel rifle 9.3x72R (I think that's the designation) would be another good squirrel rifle. You could use that caliber for deer and the like, but that would be "stunt hunting"

Throw in a couple of shots with the panatela size cartridges along side.

Think you're spoke of 9,3x74R. Very close to the 360N�2 and not far from 375 H&H flanged magnum. The 9,3x72R is rather an anemic round no more chambered today.

Thanks for the correction. I am sure you are correct. Also known as stunt hunting deer/antelope caliber. Basically a glorified squirrel rifle Brent
