The 24" barrels are cold hammer forged from 4140 chrome molybdenum steel. The barrels are installed in a mono block base with dual locking lugs for extraordinary strength. Hand regulated with Hornady DG ammunition to within 2.5" point of impact center to center at 50 yards. The new barrel brazing process affords extraordinary strength and long life. After final regulation they are finish in a high luster blued.
Fiber optic front and rear sight. The rear sight is adjustable for Windage. Elevation can be adjusted by replacing the front sight blade with a different height available from IFG in Amarillo Texas.
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.
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.

Craig Boddington recently tested and reviewed several of the new Sabatti rifles and said they were some of the finest double rifles he has ever shot at any price. He was so impressed that he purchased one of the Sabatti rifles he reviewed. See his Article in Petersen Hunting Dangerous Game Issue December 2016.
The information below comes from our Gun Caliber Dictionary and is for
general reference only. It does not describe the specifications of this
particular item.
The 500 Nitro Express was developed in the 1890s from existing blackpowder cartridges. There were both 3-inch and 3 1/4-inch versions; the longer case is still encountered in older rifles, but the 500-3" was the most common; today the 500-3" is chambered by most modern double rifle manufacturers, and ammunition is available from multiple sources. Unlike the several similar Nitro Express cartridges between 450 and 476, the 500 Nitro Express represents a notable step up in power, propelling a 570-grain bullet at 2150 fps, yielding 5850 ft-lbs of energy...but at a very modest increase in recoil. The 500-3" Nitro Express is probably the second-most popular of the big-bore Nitro Express cartridges after the 470.
