Sabatti Saphire Bolt action Blued with Walnut Stock 30-06

THE BRAND NEW SAPHIRE IS A CUTTING EDGE DEER HUNTING RIFLE THAT SHOWS A TOTALLY DIFFERENT ACTION COMPARED WITH THE OLDEST ROVER RIFLE.

This elegant and modern action represents the best of the “Made in Italy” when it comes to beauty and precision.

The action machined from a solid block of Ergal 55 aluminum alloy features two integrated Picatinny rails for fast fitting and regulation of sighting devices.

The bolt with 3 front lugs is no longer a monolithic piece but is made in three parts: the head, the body and the handle. This allows a more accurate manufacturing of the parts, the use of different kind of steel and heat treatments based on the mechanical features required.

The bolt moves very smoothly after assembly and its floating head guarantees perfect contact on all 3 lugs thus enhancing precision. The barrels in AISI 4140 steel (42CrMo4) are all cold-hammer forged and their Multiradial Rifling (MMR) improves accuracy and guarantees longer barrel life, easy cleaning and higher bullets speed.

The threaded muzzle of our bolt action rifles is “break ready”. The deer-hunting version comes with interchangeable barrels (and tools) on request.

The barrel extension of our bolt action rifles made of NiCrMo steel is hardened and tempered by a special process to improve hardness on the surface and tenacity in the heart; it is the most important part of the gun and the safety is entirely related to this piece together with the bolt head.

There are 2 different types of trigger mechanism: standard (1.2 Kg pull) or Set Trigger (standard pull weight of 1.5 Kg that can be reduced to 250g).

They are interchangeable and can be replaced by a gunsmith. The current safety is a typical 2-position side lever that locks trigger and sear but will be soon available as a 3-position safety.
