I was at a store that specializes in competition shotguns the other day and they also mentioned they sold some rifles.

One was a Perugini & Visini Selous model double rifle in .470 NE. I must admit it was very nice.

Though it was around $53K if I remember right, so they were very proud of it.

I had never heard of the company (not that I am an expert in the subject matter).

Do you guys know anything about them?

P&V have been around for a while and make quality shotguns and rifles of various grades. The best ones have English lines rather than European lines. Ver popular with clays shooters.

I had a Perugini and Visini 9.3 DR, in the early 80s. Very nice rifle. Killed one bear with it. Gave it both barrels of course; I never shoot just one barrel; keeps the wear even.
Should have kept it.
Didn't cost $53K though.

I also had a Perugini Visini in 9.3x74r it was very accurate a boxlock with detatachable Swarovski scope I keep looking for something like a converted William Evans as the caliber is great and I have a bunch of ammo left unfortunately like so many newer rifles including the P.&V. they have not grasped the value off heavy enough weighted barrels for the caliber makes for a lighter carry but you begin to appreciate the recoiling eye piece in the Swar0vski at the bench I have not handled a new rifle costing 50 thousand or more so they may be much better but at this point I believe I'll stick with the English rifles they have had the time to have learned to build to perfection.

I had a Famars .470 once- it was a tank and shot well. Webley action copy and a nice rifle. I think Steve Barnett has it now.

My first double was a S.I.A.C.E., pronounced see-ah-che and made in Italy. It was beautiful. Exhibition grade walnut, deep engraving, color case hardened frame, gold inlay and trigger. I sold it because I couldn’t bring myself to shoot it, never mind hunt with it. It was a piece of art, and very well made, but just too pretty for me.

My used Beretta .45-70 with 26 inch barrels has nice wood and coin finish action . It puts big holes in hogs and such and has taken a lot of deer.

Have been very impressed with the FAMARS Abitaco & Savalini .
Top quality.
There has been a 450 No2 with hidden bites for sale for $26K for some time and cant figure why it hasn't moved

The Sabatti rifles had a chance, but came out of the gate like that horse that turned around just after the gates opened.

The boogered barrels and the gargoyle top lever just didn't fly with me.


I meant to be DSC Member...bad typing skills.
