How good are Sabatti rifles?
The Sabatti STR is one hell of an accurate rifle as I was able to manage a . 3″ 5-shot group at 100 yards and under 6″ 5-shot group at 800 yards! I stretched the rifle out to 1400 yards and it performed very well. I had a few dislikes about the rifle but the accuracy made up for that!
Where are Sabatti shotguns made?
However they are still 100% made in Italy by selected suppliers. Both smooth and rifled bore barrels are manufactured in House at Sabatti SpA starting from very high quality steel specifically forged for the purpose of building firearm barrels.
How is polygonal rifling made?
Polygonal rifled barrels are used competitively in pistol action shooting, such as IDPA and IPSC competitions. Part of the difference may be that most polygonal rifling is produced by hammer forging the barrel around a mandrel containing a reverse impression of the rifling.
Is polygonal rifling more accurate?
Providing a better gas seal around the projectile as polygonal bores tend to have shallower, smoother edges with a slightly smaller bore area, which translates into more efficient seal of the combustion gases trapped behind the bullet, slightly greater (consistency in) muzzle velocities and slightly increased accuracy.
Is polygonal rifling good?
Pistols with polygonal rifling have smaller bore diameters than pistols with traditional rifling. This gives the polygonal barrels a tighter gas seal on the projectile. That gas seal gives polygonal guns an advantage in generating muzzle velocity.
Can you shoot lead bullets in a polygonal barrel?
For lead bullets to work satisfactorily in a polygonal barrel, they have to be on the higher end of the hardness scale and loaded to moderate pressures. There is a fairly fine line between success and failure in this arena.
What brands of firearms have polygonal rifling?
Polygonal rifling is common in pistol barrels, and is used by Glock (Gen 1-4), Walther, Heckler & Koch, and several other companies.
What is the most accurate rifling?
Button-rifled barrels are very accurate. Bore and groove dimensions are very consistent. Disadvantages of button rifling: Button rifling creates stress in a barrel; high-quality button-rifled barrels must be stress-relieved after rifling.
