Congratulations on the new rifle. I have two Sabatti’s, 45/70 & 450/400, and am pleased with both of them. The 450/400 is a bit muzzle heavy, so I added one pound of lead shot to the butt stock, it moved the balance point to the hinge pin and didn’t change the regulation. After a while I removed the lead shot because at 10 ¾ pounds it was too heavy, probably about right for a .470 though.
The 45/70 has fired close to a thousand rounds and the 450/400 is approaching 200, neither has had any problems.

Thanks for the feedback. Mine is also a little barrel heavy but I'll consult with Brileys gun smiths prior to any hacking.
