Sabatti presents the new Rover SCOUT bolt-action hunting rifle
The new Sabatti Rover family of rifles carries on the high quality, high accuracy tradition and decades of experience of the World appreciated classic Sabatti Rover bolt-action design, further improving it with a redesigned action and bolt, new materials, a higher level of CNC quality and a wide choice of configurations.
The new Sabatti Rover action is a completely new design, made out of a solid billet of high-strength 7075 aluminium alloy, precision machined to minimize manufacturing-induced tolerances, then hard anodised. The receiver comes with an integral Picatinny rail allowing the mount of riflescopes or other aiming devices.
The new Sabatti Rover bolt is CNC machined from a bar of steel. The quality of this new three lugs, 60° opening throw bolt, along with a new sturdy extractor and a removable knob, make the new Sabatti Rover action one of the best currently available in the market.
The Sabatti Rover Scout rifle comes with a standard, two lever trigger group. A three lever “Match” trigger group and a single set trigger are available as optional.
The cold-hammer forged barrel makes use of a top-quality traditional rifling, out of manufacturing processes that vaunt all the accuracy Sabatti rifles are famed for. Of particular importance, the barrel comes fitted with a barrel extension which allows ease of barrel interchangeability, without any need to adjust the head space.
The Sabatti Rover Scout barrel has a 18 mm (0.71”) diameter, matte black finish and ends with a 5/8”-24 UNEF thread with Sabatti’s Improved Birdcage flash hider. The action’s picatinny rail extends to the first third of the barrel, which has adjustable iron sights with an orange fibre optic front sight.
The Sabatti Rover Scout rifle comes with a sturdy polymer stock with a soft-touch finish, which combines ruggedness and lightness with improved ergonomics ending in a soft recoil pad which helps tame the heavier calibers kick. The stock accepts AICS magazines and has a flush, black polymer, removable cheek rest. Cheek rests of three different heights are available as optional, as well as a kit of shims to adjust the stock length of pull. A multipurpose steel plate is embedded in the forearm, allowing the mount of bipods or other accessories.
The Rover Scout rifle offers all of the accuracy, ruggedness and reliability of the Sabatti bolt-action rifles tradition: more than 300 years of Italian gun making experience, at the most affordable price.
