Interesting post from AR. I nearly fell off my chair
when I read it.

"Interestingly quite a few members of our club (Big Game Rifle Club of Australia) have bought Sabatti doubles. One or two may have been in 9.3x74 but mainly in 450/400NE, 450NE and 500NE. In the first instance most seemed pleased with them. They looked nice for the price but some had the muzzle grinding which you discussed. This seemed odd as Sabatti put out a video showing them regulating their doubles in a fairly conventional fashion? Not withstanding that they seemed to shoot reasonably well.

The real problems seem to have come as they have been shot more. Early reports had the muzzle wedges and filler (which appears to be a metalized epoxy) falling out and now more serious problems of ribs coming off! I am also told Sabatti so far have been very unhelpful in regard to warrantee work.

I would be interested to hear more of the US experience with the Sabatti doubles"
