One of the most accurate factory rifles you've probably never heard of.

[22shtr]

I build F-class rifles from Savage actions that I find on used rifles with accu triggers.
I then, tear them down,restock, bed the recoil lug, put on a Criterion barrel,do the load work,
Then shoot with the buyer at 600 yards,and wait for him to put the money in my hand.
So, I thought I would buy a factory rifle,and see if I can get it to shoot like my builds.
The rifle I bought after some research was the... Sabatti U.S. Tactical in 6.5 Creedmoor.
The stock is built solid,with a nice palm swell and super rugged adjustable comb. It has a 20 moa rail.
The trigger is just over 2 pounds with no creep. The barrel is a threaded medium heavy 26"
with their proprietary multi radial rifling,they claim lasts longer than other rifling.
Where the rifle shines is how consistently accurate it is from group to group.
I have not shot any factory ammo,only my reloads through the rifle.
It likes all bullet weights. It truly is a half minute of better rifle at 600 yards.
I've shot the rifle in several competitions and it's done very well.
My favorite load is H-4350 with The 130 Norma golden target bullet.
This rifle is competition ready,right out of the box.
The target was shot at 300 yards.

Remington clone?

And where are you finding these Sabatti's?

I bought mine on gun broker last year. If you do a search for Sabatti for sale,you'll find a few places.

 

[22shtr]

Remington clone?

Yes,it's on the Remington footprint.

So do they have a barrel nut so you can build them too?

No barrel nut on the rifle. The beauty of this rifle is,with the multi radial rifling you should be able
to get two or three thousand rounds of high accuracy. After that a gunsmith should have no problem
Changing barrel.

I wasn’t aware that rifling wearing out was a problem in any rifle.
The throat perhaps, but not the actual rifling It’s self.
That being said, it does appear to be a good shooting piece.

Multi radial ! Its multi radial , advertising at its best , sort of

What is multi radial rifling?

 

[Adam in WI]

The kind formed by a dull button?

 

[Kermit in Va.]

For that price...it better shoot...lol

 

[pikespeakgoat]

Didn't realize that Sabatti made bolt action rifles.....I was really wanting a double rifle about 7 or 8 years ago and it was the only one I found that had really good reviews and more importantly one that I could afford.

That's some impressive shooting for sure.

With regards to accurate factory rifles, the Tikka's I've owned are amazing, especially the varmint model shooting sub 1/2 moa with tailored reloads. Everything about them I found excellent. The triggers, extraction design, and smoothness of bolt. Even the stocks are adequate especially in the T3X models with the vertical pistol grip - also available as an after market modification for the lite models.

The other rifle I own that was unbelievable out of the box was the Weatherby Mark V, Super Varmint Master. Mine was a sub 1/4 moa with tailored reloads out of the box. But for $1,500 (2009 $) one might expect that level of performance.

The Browning A and X bolts I own are also amazingly accurate factory rifles out of the box, mine in the 1/2 moa range. If Timmey triggers were available for these models I believe I could cut those groups down to almost half of that.

The cross section of the barrel looks like a stop sign that some one tried to make round but ran out of patience. If polygonal works i see no reason this won't either. Depending on how much this is out of round it could be way easier on a bullet jacket than conventional rifling.

Is this you Martin?

You are correct,the throat is what gets burned out. Depending on the caliber,some burn out quicker than
others.

What is multi radial rifling?

Sabatti explanation: unlike conventional rifling, multi radial is made up of two different alternating radius
Lines.

 

[Ggmac]

Multi radial = multi ( more than one ) grooves , spiraling 360 deg , ( yes all the way around the entire interior surface ) and continuing to where it stops . ( usually at the end of the barrel , unless a muzzle brake is utilized)
Just another view of new words used to describe an old system .
just havin fun .
2 different grooves , reminds me of Springfield barrels . None of these grooves are ever identical. Similar yes , identical, never .
