for a rifle that was once considered a mainstay for target shooting-I'm surprised there is so little information or even interest in these fine old rifles.Other older rifles have occasionaly been brought back into production as ''retro'' models ,but not so the Martini.Don't know why,although there is some following of them by people who like the older type actions and rifles.Personally,I'm intrigued by them-they are a piece of our history,and saw use in many wars and developing countries around the world
