HEY...You guys are the single shot experts! The last Martini I held was chambered in .577 Spanish Olive! However,the last factory engraved [albeit lightly and as I recall, identical to this one] MARTINI SPORTING RIFLE action only, I saw on James D. Julia's auction site, brought well over $600. If the bore is good and Sukalle barrelled it,it wll shoot, or can be made to shoot!!! Just an aside ...I am surprised noone has mentioned the fact the barrel where it enters the action has the Sukalle tool stamp .218, [I recognize his tool lettering as I have 3 of his rifles] as in .218 Bee! These guys at CABELAS'S GUN LIBRARY are not the sharpest knives in the drawer! Could they have taken in the rifle and seeing .218 assumed a .22 rimfire? I noticed in the ad they did not specify rim or centerfire. Anyway look at the pictures, it definitly says .218! Could it be a rechamber? Just remember... DON'T SHOOT ME ...I'M JUST THE PIANO PLAYER!!! WARMEST REGARDS JERRY
