Sometime ago I have had a Verney Carron Azur Safari, and was very disapointed with it. Regulation was a problem, and searching my old photos I can see the same problem reported on this forum about the crown on Sabatti Rifles. I have sent then photos and etc but my complaints were never answered.
I am new to this Forum, but as soon as I learn how to do it I will post then here.

I currently own a merkel, and it shoots nice, but can only imgine that the engineer that designed the pad they are using never shot one of the 500's they do.
