The Italyuns are getting closer to an ideal Remington # 1 Sporter but not there yet for me. I'd like to see a metal foreend cap and a full octagon barrel instead of round or half round for that matter. The wood is profiled correctly fore and aft of the receiver and the stock lines aren't bad. I could live with one of these for a hunter....but like anything else I'd like to see it up close and try the action. And the triggerguard profile on that Italyun ain't right either!
Its taken decades for them to get it right...they and Remington Customshop are capable of it but it just never seems to come out right
Here's my 44-77 sporter. Wish it had the single set trigger and rough&ready sight. Pic is not good but'll have to do.
