Beretta 500
Notes: This is
basically a Mauser rifle under another name.
The basic rifle is a short-action weapon chambered for either .222
Remington or 5.56mm NATO. The Model
501 is chambered for either .243 Winchester or 7.62mm NATO; it has no iron
sights, but is drilled and tapped for a telescopic sight.
(Further development of this rifle led to the M-501 sniper rifle; see
Italian Sniper Rifles.) The Model
502 is chambered for even heavier cartridges.
Other rifles in this series are merely variations on these rifles, with
differences in the stock or sights.
The standard stock for the Model 500 is of the Monte Carlo-style, with a
half-length fore-end, and a North American-style cheekpiece.
The Model 500DL Deluxe (also known as Custom Grade) is the same, except
that the stock is of high-quality walnut with a low hog’s back comb, a
ventilated rubber recoil pad, checkering on the pistol grip wrist, and a
Schnabel tip on the fore-end.
(There are also DL versions of the Model 501 and 502.)
The Model 500S, 501S, and 502S are simply versions of the standard
weapons which have Williams-type adjustable rear iron sights and ramp front
sights in addition to the drilling and tapping.

Beretta Mato
Notes: This
bolt-action rifle was introduced in 1998.
It is based on the Mauser mechanism, has a walnut stock, with a synthetic
stock as an option, and is a descendant of the Model 500 above.
The Mato is named after the Dakota word for “bear,” and is known for the
quality of its construction. The
receiver is machined from a single block of high-quality steel, and the
extractor has a large claw to ensure trouble-free extraction of spent rounds.
This extractor also acts to guide the next round properly into the
chamber. The magazine is a
removable box, but may also be loaded from the top through the chamber.
The barrel is cold-forged for extra strength and durability.
The standard trigger is adjustable, but a preset trigger is an option.
Variants (identical to the standard version for game purposes) include
the Mato Deluxe X-Tra Wood with a select walnut stock chosen for the beauty of
its grain, the Mato Extra Deluxe, with a stock made from particularly fine wood
and engraving on the receiver and the bottom of the magazine.
The Mato is drilled and tapped for a telescopic sight.
The Mato may be fitted with a flash suppressor or a muzzle brake, but
this will not be covered here.

Sabatti
Rover 600
Notes: This
bolt-action rifle is a short-action weapon, designed for relatively small
calibers that have short cases. The
Rover 600 has a 22-inch barrel and in its standard version has a Williams-type
rear leaf sight adjustable for height, and is also drilled and tapped for a
telescopic sight mount. The Rover
600 DL is a more deluxe version which comes from the factory with a telescopic
sight (the price includes this scope) on a special Sabatti swing mount.
The Rover 600 EDL is an even more deluxe version of the DL.
(The two are identical for game purposes, the all three shoot the same.)
The Rover 600 has a safety catch on the right side which locks both the trigger
and bolt. The stock may be walnut
or laminated walnut, and may be of standard pistol grip wrist style or with a
Monte Carlo, Bavarian, or straight back stock (with or without a cheek plate).
There is also a Custom version based on the North American Varmint, which
has no iron sights (but is drilled and tapped) and comes in an extended range of
chamberings.

Sabatti
Rover 870
Notes: Parent
rifle of the Rover 600, the Rover 870 is designed for longer and large
cartridges. Like the Rover 600, it
uses a modified Mauser 98 action, and is made with a receiver and bolt of
chrome-nickel steel and a barrel of chrome-molybdenum steel.
The rifling is cold forged into the
barrel. The barrel is very dense
and resistant to wear and tear.
Unlike the Rover 600, the safety does not lock the bolt; it locks the trigger
and firing pin. The Rover 870 is
designed for a plethora of cartridges; the barrel length depends upon the
caliber, with most calibers using a 22-inch barrel, while magnum chamberings and
the .25-06 Remington use a 24-inch barrel.
A left-handed version, the Rover 870 Mancini, is also made for all
calibers. Other versions include
the Rover 870 Battue, which has special sights designed stalking game; the
deluxe Rover 870 EDL, with a polished finish and a stock of select walnut root;
and the Rover 870 Camo, which has both metal and wood finished in a variety of
camouflage patterns depending upon the wished of the customer.
All of these are identical to the standard Rover 870 for game purposes.
Twilight 2000
Notes: The Rover 870 Camo is not available in the Twilight 2000 timeline.
In addition, the Italian government prohibited the export of these
weapons after the start of Italy’s involvement in the hostilities.

Uberti
Revolver Carbine
Notes: This is
not actually a bolt-action rifle, though I have included it here for simple lack
of some other place to put it. It
is a reproduction of the Colt Revolver Carbine, and is as such a reproduction of
a Colt Single-Action revolver with a shoulder stock added and a long 18-inch
barrel. The barrel is therefore
carbine length, only two inches shorter than a Winchester Carbine of the same
period. When Colt first designed
the Revolver Carbine, it was intended that it be a buntline with a 16-inch
barrel and a skeletonized steel stock, but so many gunsmiths were modifying it
with 18-inch barrels and permanently-attached wooden stocks that Colt began
building them that way on a permanent basis, forming a sort of
ad hoc carbine.
The reproduction, therefore, will appeal to a limited crowd, those
looking for historical accuracy in an unusual weapon.
The stock is straight-wristed, with a blued barrel, cylinder, trigger,
and trigger guard and color-case hardened frame and hammer.
The Revolver Carbine is otherwise a Colt Single Action, and the Uberti
version is a faithful reproduction of that weapon.
There is no fore-end of any sort, so using it is a bit difficult
especially with extended firing.
