Scuze Erik, I thought the 3 Chicks bought Sabatti too. My bad.

BTW, here's the Cabela's Fausti 28" 20 g for $1300 US

I've deleted the offending post(s) and offer my apologies to my friend in Texas AND my good friend Yeti!!!!!!!!
I guess we just had about enough of the fighting on this great board.
All the best

Treb, Ruger Red Label talk always brings out the pitchforks and torches. Apologies back atcha!

you live in GA abt 20 yrs ago? breeding shows.


If fnb25 an Mr. Chambers can lay off the Georgia comments we may all be able to live in harmony.

Yeti,

That Cabelas gun looks like a better deal. Has anyone ever handled one?

I can't keep all those Italian underlug guns straight. Is Fausti one of the Rizzini's ? Does Sabatti have a connection with any Rizzini? Which of them makes the receivers for Ceasar Guerini? Or is that Fabarms?

Is there a chart that keeps this all straight somewhere?

I'd like a big chart too.
The Fausti is the same as the Izzy Rizzini (F.A.I.R.) which they did buy.

I THINK Sabatti makes the O/U frames and possibly the barrels for all of them; Rizzini B, CG, Fausti, and others. How else can they be so identical? And it fits into the old manufacturing model that is so successful for the gunmakers in Italy.

I did take a very very close look at the in-the-white Sabatti O/U set Galazan's is selling. It's indistinguishable from the sideplated CGs and Rizz B's. I wish I'd brought a dial caliper, next time up there I'll try to remember.

I've always liked guns from Italy - but - Marlins new LCS - bought two of them, one for the wife and one for me. IMHO it was a big mistake. The 20ga for my wife- she couldn't open or close it without a great effort and the trigger pull was more than 10 pounds. The ejector springs looked like they belonged on a pick-up so I removed them. Also spent an afternoon getting the trigger pull to about 4 1/2 pounds. I must say that mine was alright , but I wouldn't buy another one. Also, her single trigger didn't work right, that took another hour to correct. I don't blame anyone but myself - you get what you pay for, and $1400 isn't enough for a good new SxS. Paul

I guess what I have really enjoyed about being on this forum is the variety of opinions offered and the fact that most of us are rather passionate as to the double guns we own, have shot, or wish to shoot.

Nothing will ever compare to a Purdey, H&H, AyA, Parker, LC Smith, Fox, etc. The fact is that some of todays doubles may be made better, but they lack the nostalgia and historical significance of these older beloved doubles.

Tradition plays a large part in this, too. There is no other feeling than taking out an old double into the field and bringing back your quarry. It is a wonderful feeling.

I do hope that someone does have the opportunity to shoot one of these new Remington shotguns and can take the time to offer up an editorial as to how they perceive its perfomance and appearance.

Again, thanks to one and all.

I have a Sabatti made OU and SxS 12ga charles daly shotgun as my modern field grade set. They have been great. Some day I will refinish the plain wood but they don't need it right now. They fit me very well and I have $1100 into both.
