Reproduction of one of the most famous rifles in the field of the precision target shooting, made in 1865 by the English gunsmith George Gibbs. A rifle born to satisfy both the aesthetical purists and the shooters who wish to challenge in the 100 meters target shooting and longer ranges. Blue, steel octagon to round barrel. The walnut stock is checkered, oil finished and completed with a premium figured wood butt cap and nose cap. The pistol grip shape enables a comfortable grip and a very good balance. Equipped with high precision Creedmoor sight, windage and elevation adjustment of the eye piece up to 3” about (76 mm), spirit level tunnel front sight with windage adjustable with a micrometer screw, completed with a set of 15 interchangeable inserts (USA 408). The Deluxe version is enriched with engravings finished by hand, identical to those shown on an original rifle. The lock, breech plug, tang and the trigger guard are engraved with a very fine “English” style pattern. The stock is made with selected walnut, the grip and the forend have a fine checkering.
