II wish they had made it look like an English sporting rifle instead of a Bubba job on a Martini military rifle. I didn't see where they mentioned a safety being incorporated in the new rifles.
One of the videos showed a trigger lock safety in the front of the trigger guard. Weird that in all the pictures and videos I didn't notice any good photos of the right side of the rifle, where you would expect to see a safety on a traditional Martini. I'd be interested in a more traditional looking Sporting rifle in a cartridge like the 303 British, but I'm not interested in it looking like it does.
I totally agree, but if they feel they have to charge that much for the ugly version they produced, I can't imagine what they'd want for a more refined example!
There are still some pretty nice original sporting Martinis that show up on the auction sites from time to time, and they can often be had for less than these "new" ones.
Just seems like another marketing disaster to me, but maybe they will be successful.
