REALLY excellent rifle there! Love it.
I hope that you DO get to go to Tanzania and shoot a couple of buff with it.
Sooooo..... you gonna sell that Sabatti now? If so, I could be interested in trying to trade you out of it.

Jeff: An extra .5gr of H-4831 brought me up to 2120 and just the same accuracy so I think I'm good! The beauty is that as of right now I can shoot Hornady softs and solids plus the Woodleigh softs to POI. I guess I should try to load some Woodleigh solids and see what happens.
Safariman, I sent the Sabbati back to Cabelas for a full refund as it was one of the ones with the grounded out barrels. jorge

Jorge, if not for the grounded barrels, would you have kept the Sabbati? How was the accuracy of the one you had? Another question: does Sabbati regulate their barrels by the laser technique or the actual shoot-solder-shoot-solder technique?
Man, I'd love another double rifle. Very nice shooting by yours.

Yes I would have, most definitively. My rifle shot EXTREMELY well, and I've posted the targets here as well. There have been many threads on the QUALITY of the way the Sabbatis were made, but I just could not get past the oblong crowns and grinded rifling.

When I set out to build this double, I tried to faithfully imitate the classic British design and lines as depicted in this classic W & C Scott double. I think the folks at Verney-Carron did a pretty faithful reproduction: ![[Linked Image]](http://i1211.photobucket.com/albums/cc437/jorgeIg/318WC.jpg) And mine: ![[Linked Image]](http://i1211.photobucket.com/albums/cc437/jorgeIg/VCrtcch.jpg) ![[Linked Image]](http://i1211.photobucket.com/albums/cc437/jorgeIg/VClvr1.jpg)
