Where Have The Sabattis Gone?
I just checked on Gunsinternational, and there are only 3 Sabatti double rifles up for sale. One by Cabelas and two from Steve Barnett that have been re-regulated.

What has happened here? I know Cabelas have limited their relationship with Sabatti, but there ought to be some sort of opportunity here for someone to cut a deal with Sabatti given they properly regulate their guns. Raise the price to retail $6500 for a gun that shoots true and see what happens.

I'll be glad to be the distributor, need investors. Can it be done, and can Sabbati properly regulate a double?

Yes, I am convinced they can as all three of the big bore Sabs I had and have shot to within 2 inches at 50 yards with no issues. They just needed some good technical advice which they did not get the first time around, with some rifles.

Mine too has no issues with 2" at 50 yards.

I think it is very telling that there are only 3 for sale. That tells me that the folks that have them are quite content and have no interest in resale. That is certainly my situation and I do not envision ever selling it.

Mike,
Why not give them a call and tell us what they said if you are interested in being the distributor.
I would be interested in a small caliber or 45-70 if they would build them left handed.


My biggest fear is when I die my wife will sell my guns for what I told her they cost.

Mike,
I think there could be a good market for the small frame guns chambered in 30-30, 7x65R, and 8x57R.
Both of my Sabatti's are fine shooters, well regulated and accurate. I will never sell either one.
