Hey there

Does anybody know of a 22 rifle made in Italy with the maker Sabbiati? Looks to be a Ruger 10/22 knock off of sorts. Nice wood, heavy bull barrel. Looks to be well made. Unfired possibly. Do I take a chance? Searched the web and found no info. The gun was well marked Sabbiati 22 long rifle made in Italy. Thanks for any info.

  Well, looking further, in the Blue Book, I found the maker listed, and a link to a website that is down. (at least the name seems to known, and associated with a old factory). Anybody else? I'll pick it up and see how these Italians do.

  Well, I bought it. Sabatti Sporter 22 with a 18" bull barrel. These I guess were brought in by EAA. Don't know how many were sold or brought in. Mine is unfired (as of yet). Hope the range is open today!

  My girlfriend says the same. ( I also tell her she talks too much)
  
  Just wanted to know if there are any problems with these. Love to buy american, but could not refuse such a cool looking rifle, sexy heavy barrel good wood, at such a good price. I also think my belgium browning is sexy in the slinky slim sort of way.
  
  Yes I do talk too much

  the photo did not come up for me but that should be it. There is also a photo at the Sabatti site. Mine has the bull barrel. I paid 200 with a scope. The gun is unfired as of today. I'll take photos later this spring. (need to buy 2 fishing reels before a camera!)
