Sabatti Saphire ER

Sabatti Saphire ER: The Long-Range Hunting Rifle

The Sabatti SAPHIRE (Sabatti All Purpose Hunting Italian Rifle) is a meticulously designed bolt-action hunting rifle that combines elegance with high-performance features. The SAPHIRE ER (Extended Range) variant is engineered to deliver exceptional accuracy for long-range hunting without the added weight of a competition-grade long-range rifle.

Innovative Action and Receiver

At the heart of the Sabatti Saphire ER is the innovative Sabatti Saphire action, a significant evolution from the company’s traditional Rover action design. The rifle boasts a smooth-operating, three-locking-lugs bolt housed within a lightweight yet highly durable 7075-T6 alloy receiver. This receiver also features an integral Picatinny rail for effortless optics installation, ensuring you can quickly and securely mount your preferred scope.

Superior Barrel Design

The cold-hammer forged barrel of the Saphire ER is crafted with Sabatti’s proprietary MRR (Multi Radial Rifling) pattern. This unique rifling method enhances accuracy and extends the service life of the barrel. The muzzle is threaded and protected by a removable cap, providing flexibility for the installation of various muzzle devices to suit your shooting needs.

Barrel Interchangeability

One of the standout features of the Sabatti Saphire series is its barrel interchangeability. Shooters can purchase additional barrels in different calibers and have them swapped by a qualified armorer using simple tools. Depending on the caliber change, replacing the magazine and bolt head might be necessary, allowing for versatility and customisation based on your hunting requirements.

Ergonomic Thumbhole Stock

The rifle’s Thumbhole-style stock is constructed from fibreglass-reinforced polymer, offering superior rigidity and vibration absorption while keeping the weight manageable. The stock includes an adjustable cheek riser for optimal sight alignment and a generous rubber buttpad that effectively mitigates recoil. For those who need a custom fit, the stock can be supplemented with factory-issued inserts to extend the length of pull.
