I actually thought that was a pic of the Ruger for a second!

New model, so no feedback as yet, but the Italian made Sabatti STR uses fellow Italian manufacturer Victrix Armaments' folding alloy tactical stock (and Victrix products ARE good) and has just arrived here in 308 Win plus 6.5X47 Lapua. (300 Win Mag, 260 Rem and 6.5 Creedmoor following). Imported by Range Right in Harrogate, RRP is £1,695, but some dealers such as Livens already show it for £100 less.

Just Google the name for dealers, info and pics

Only ..... nobody has so far got their hands on this beast, nor does anybody have a price for it, if and when it appears, so far as I can see. There is the T3X CTR (Compact Tactical Rifle) at around £1,200 for a traditional (plastic) stock detachable mag 20-inch barrel job, and there is an 'adjustable stock' model in either plastic or laminated at ~£1,700, but the TAC A1 model is slated as a military / law enforcement model and if it is actually in production as yet, hasn't been acquired by anybody reporting on it or reviewing it. The Americans are going crazy trying to find out more and got briefly excited by news that the CTR (and presumably the TAC A1 behind it) were being made in 6.5 Creedmoor which is now the US civilian shooter's cartridge of choice for this type of rifle, but Tikka USA has now scotched those rumours responding to queries with the Finns having no plans to offer any rifle in this chambering 'for the foreseeable future'.

And the Sabatti Tactical Syn looks interesting especially in 6.5x47 http://tinyurl.com/h4jt2v5
