    A short barreled bolt action would be a great option something like 338 federal with a 12" or 14" barrel fore hunter or a run of 7.62x39 fore every guy how has a sks extra
    sum thing like the top rifle but possibly have a full picatinny rail so a guy can add fold down sight and optics as he desires

    I always thought peep sights mounted forward on the barrel was a poor compromise.
    Steve Young of Steve's Gunz makes an aperture sight to replace the little lawyer safety button on the Rossi R92 rifles.
    With very little effort a hole could be drilled and tapped on the bolt to place such a sight on an 1886 clone.
    The 1886 is configured the same as a 1892 except on a bigger scale.

    Haha, I clicked the link too! That price made me actually laugh out loud. Cool concept, but I'm out (by about $1000)

    IMO if the price is going to be that high then it should have been made in full stainless steel and synthetic stock. IMO this gun is at least $600 to $800 over priced.

    While I agree the price at over $2000 with taxes etc is very high, if you look at what a similar Chiappa is selling for in the US @ around $1500.00 US ($1835.00) I'd say Whanstalls is in the ballpark and trying to make a sale but is dealing with a strong US dollar that is some how effecting this Italian gun...... US distribution?

    I also agree that at that price it should be perfect out of the box.

    Camp Cook has pointed out the benefit of short handy rifle like this but in reallity because it is so short and handy the takedown feature (and extra expense) could probably be bypassed. I do like the octagon barrel and look forward to a response from someone "in the know" as to whether or not what appears to be threaded holes on top are for scope rail mounts?

    I really like the packability of this rifle.....would be an awesome bush gun.....but its a bit expensive.

    A feature that would definitely have been good to include with the custom run of these.......would be a threaded barrel.
    I used to have a CSA 7.5" VZ 58, and the concussion of the blast from a rifle round exiting a short barrel, was nothing short of ...brutal, I would have headaches for hours after.
    when I installed a brake/redirector, it was fine...

    I think that this would definitely need that, so add 300 to the already 1900 is 2200.00, just to be able to have the option to do what (I feel) would be a necessity for this gun.

    Right on, that'd be the way to go.
