Tintin, thank you , yes this rifle was build by an Italian Gunsmith in 1981. It has been kept in a safe for many years . I bought it recently. It really will be a family heirloom.

What a great job they did and very good to see Italian smiths, that are often associated more with guns, or doubles than magazine rifles, turning out such fine work.

Are you planning to keep it as iron sights only - in some ways, it would be a shame to drill and tap that pristine action.

Yes, no rifle scope on this rifle , it is build as a dedicated walk/stalk short distance hunting in bush-veld areas of South African Limpopo regions..

I have cycled all the loaded rounds through the receiver, it cycles flawlessly, extracting positively , as smooth as my SAKO .300 as well as my Westley Richards 404 Jeffery rifle.This really is a superb rifle , incredible craftsmanship. The attention to detail is just incredible ....

Wonderful custom rifle. Perfect Limpopo stalking rifle.

Plains game and cape buffalo covered very nicely with one fine rifle.
