Does anyone else share my enjoyment of these old rifles? I got a little crazy over the weekend and bought one Swiss and two Italian. I'm not sure I understand the difference between them. I currently have a Swiss one that I really enjoy.

Thats one heck of a bayonet!! After you stabbed them then saw them in half!!

I think NebrHogger is one of the "nuts" I mean collectors of the Italian ones.

I have both. My Italian Vetterli is VERY accurate, and I won a postal match with it. Load information on request. SW

SW, I knew you would!

Just don't infect him like I have been infected with the crazed lust for those Italian weapons

Now where did I put that Beretta Cav Carbine :-?

I have both as well. They are excellent shooters, always good for conversation at the range. One thing that jumped out at me about your pic, I think the rear sight is mounted backwards.

Nortonguy,
You're right, by gosh. Its mounted backwards. I've never fired it; only displayed it. I just never noticed it. :-?
