I just read a thread on [blank] on Sabatti rifles, started on 15-Sept. That thread is what I don't want this one to be: One person bashing* and several others saying "Well, I heard..."

I started this thread because I wanted to hear from people who have actually owned them! If they aren't worth it, let's hear about it.

*I do not know Cal Pappas. Looking at his posts on AR and his website I suspect he is extremely knowledgable. However, one man shouting something, no matter how loudly he shouts, shouldn't make that a fact. I'd like to hear from others as well. Not to discount his apparent experience, but if he decided something was wrong early on(which it was) it would be very easy to find faults with anything from then on.
