An 12 mm European quick debatable Scope base is included for scope mounting. The scope base is designed to straddle the quarter rib behind the rear sight and attaches with 4 provided screws. The European 12 mm base is the preferred base for this type of rifle due to its low profile, strong recoil lug and the ability to quickly detach your scope and still use your express sights over the base. Also this type of base does not detract from the clean appearance of the rifle.
All IFG Sabatti rifles are proof tested by Italian law to C.I.P. standards at 25% over pressure of standard factory ammunition. The barrels are measured before and after firing 2 over pressure rounds and checked for any changes in measurements. Only then will the barrels be stamped with the Government's Proof House stamp and returned to the manufacturer for sale.
The select grade walnut stock with full Bavarian cheek piece & beavertail forearm are hand checkered and oil finished. The great thing about true oil finishes is that small scratches and dents can easily be repaired without having to refinish the entire stock.
The stocks have a long length of pull so if required they can be cut to fit your exact length, But it is not necessary. They are fitted with a red rubber butt plate.
We provide a set of non-detachable sling swivels with the rifle but they are not installed because some hunter's prefer not to have a sling on a DGR. If you prefer sling swivels, the provided sling swivels can be install by any competent gunsmith at your option.

particular item.
The 450 Nitro Express (450-3 1/4" NE) was designed and introduced by John Rigby in 1898. It was the first large-caliber Nitro Express cartridge case designed for smokeless powder, its long 3.25-inch case intended to reduce pressure with volatile Cordite propellant, and its straight-taper rimmed case designed for reliable extraction in double rifles and single shots. The 450 NE uses a .458-inch 480-grain bullet at 2150 feet per second, yielding 4926 foot-pounds. In bullet weight, velocity, and energy this cartridge set the standard that remains in place today for the world's largest game. Resurrected by Hornady and also loaded by Kynoch, the 450 NE has the advantage of a trimmer case than cartridges based on the 500 NE and thus can be housed in the Ruger Number One. It is currently chambered in most modern double rifles and some single shots, and remains a fine choice for Africa's thick-skinned game.
