.... could easily be produced to compete with the Rugers if the market demanded it and you could prove it would return a profit. A pretty much perfect example of this is the Sabbati sold by Cabelas. It was about half the price of any other SxS big bore. But sales were absolutely ruined by the manner they successfully regulated some of them. I never read a single honest report that said they did not regulate to hunting accuracy with a single one of them. It was an appearance they did something less expensive to regulate some of them.The forums can take credit for totally killing the sales.
I think you are on very thin ice here with the comments re honesty ....
But all the comment above proves is a lack of an ability to read actual forum posts over time, or ability to search for them. There was LOTS of evidence of the absolute crap way Sabatti or Cabellas went about trying to fix UN_SUCCESSFUL regulation attempts. Assuming those rifle were even regulated at all in the first place ...
The fact is it seems the company Sabatti listened and fixed up their act so that models produced since those problems seem to be adequate and good value.

Reminds me greatly of a man named Ralph Nader who totally destroyed the sales of an automobile by writing a book that did not honestly represent the automobile he hated so much. The book was 'Unsafe at any speed' (which it absolutely was not in any way) and the car was the Corvair by Chevrolet. I would personally been happy to own a Sabatti with the ground muzzle and used it in Africa. I really also liked the early Corvairs. Somehow millions have learned to drive rear engined air cooled horizontal opposed engined autos since before and after the Corvair. In point of fact I had one made of the 3 most popular. I had a Karmann Ghia Volkswagen,with Porsche running gear and brakes and a Corvair engine. Ran and drove exceptionally well. Also owned several Volkswagens and Porsches over the years
BTW are you drunk with all this rambling on?
