I was just saying an hour ago that I need to stop looking for rifles to buy. 5 minutes ago I was searching for a Fabarm Iris. THANKS

Firearms and their design and manufacturing process can be a magnificent example of genius in the mastery of materials. Melding steel to wood as though it were one piece. The beauty of natural wood grain a reminder of the wonders of nature. Propellents, projectiles, ballistics, metallurgy, tooling to name a few scientific elements of of a proper rifle build. They are indeed a form of artwork to the discriminating eye. Appreciation of fine firearms is a lifelong part of me.

Luigi Franchi also make fine firearms. Thoroughly enjoy your clips, thank you for sharing.

Nice, really nice!! I really like the cocking and decoking feature, actually I would love to have that feature in my Ruger no1!! Such a great video and man you are calm and knowledgeable.... and most impressive is you humbleness!! Thank you for what you do!!

You forgot Chiappa. Love my 357 Winchester '92 reproduction. Could shoot it all day and so easy to reload with so many load options.

I love the great level of knowledge put into all of your videos.

Enjoyed your video on the Fabarm rifle thought they only made shotguns what a beautiful bit of engineering, what drew me to this video in particular was the strange names they give the guns I have a Fabarm Ellegi a 3 shot semi auto shot gun but not in the same class as your rifle

Exquisite rifle. I have an R8 and switch the barrels occasionally (I did today get ready for deer hunting), but this rifle with 2 bolts makes a lot of sense.

I must say Your calm collected and care used in using none derogatory terms and references is really refreshing , it's clear You are a well practiced firearms enthusiast (expert!) and clearly know more than You give yourself credit for , Thank You , I am really enjoying Your videos and have become a subscriber as a result , I look forward to the next episode . Shoot Straight , Stay Safe & Stay Well .

Love your show, very educational. I've learned alot from your channel!

Sir... you do a great job presenting rifles and how to work. Yes, Italy makes great rifles ......

That looks like a very interesting rifle. I will look them up. Great video and info. Thanks.

That is a great rifle! Had never heard of this gun. You did a great job!

thank for your time and effort and the beautiful rifles you show.

I really enjoy your Channel different guys that I've never heard about thank you great job

I am SHOCKED at how affordable this beautiful rifle is.

Fabarm weapons are exceptional. I had a Sabatti Rover in 30 06. Hunting rifle, but incredibly accurate, well designed and very very nice. I'm sorry I sold it. It was the moment when I decided that all my actions would be M98. But maybe with the Sabatti I rushed. Thanks for the channel and greetings from Spain.

Fantastic Video!

Love the video keep them up

You have the guns of a king.

Another gem!

Beautiful gun, easily to takedown; but safety device is seemed different from the traditional (spring field 30) ; the sound of thumb open maybe a little louder. Thank you for sharing, highly appreciated.👍 Looking forward to your next videos.❤️

I’m to much of a traditionalist, these things just leave me cold...but I did enjoy your video.

Excellent rifle that I had never heard of before. Cool safety feature on the back of the bolt. I only own Swiss K31 rifles, and they have a very effective ring safety on the back of the bolt. WWII rifle collectors often overlook Carcano's, assuming they are Italian, and of inferior quality.

Thank you . Very interesting to learn about this . Well done Sir as usual.

Thank you for this video.

Enjoyed this video Mike as always. Fine example of German engineering. Regarding Italian gun making, they have made some of the finest rifles and shotguns. In my opinion, to suggest the Carcano as an example of Italian gun making is a mistake. I always considered the Carcano as a desperation rifle to satisfy the demands of the Italian infantry in WWI and parts slapped together from WWI to support the needs of the Italian infantry in WWII. It’s not unlike trying to define Italian automotive excellence with Fiat verses Ferrari. Your channel has shown me so many fine rifles and shotguns from around the world, many of which I had never seen or heard of. Thank you Mike.

Thankyou for showing this friend....heres a thumbs up since yt has disabled mine...👍👍👍

Over the years I have seen some very ornate highly engraved Italian made 10 Gauge shotguns. The craftsmanship was absolutely superb. Seek and ye shall find..!

Thank you sir once again , nice video , looks very expensive though 👍

I've only ever seen 2 off them and they were on gun star for sale . Am really impressed with the rifle, am going look more into them , I would be interested in a 308

Looks like a barrel from Merkel (Suhl) Helix, same sights. Here in Europe the best shotguns come from Italy and the best rifles (rifled barrel guns) from Germany. I love your channel, greetings from Croatia.

Thank you. Not my cup of tea but I learned something new. Pre-64 mod 70 guy.

Can you make a video about the steyr scout bolt mechanism? Thanks!

The bolt for 222 was my first thought., when you mentioned it. Glad another smith thought the same way.

I have one. The. 30-06 It's everything the man says it is. Wonderful rifle.

I do not own many guns from Italy. The ones I do own are from Davide Pedersoli. They are all reproduction 44 cap and ball revolvers. Quite fantastic revolvers, very accurate shooters and affordable for the common man. I would not hesitate to buy more Italian firearms.

USOG , a few months ago I left a comment saying you were the " Mr. Rogers of y.t. firearm reviewers " . You commented back " Thank you , I think " . As in is that a good thing ? . I didn't answer . Here it is . " ever hear anyone bad mouth Mr. Rogers " .

I am having difficulty finding them. Do they make left-landed bolts by any chance (I doubt it, but worth asking)?

The T/C Dimension now discontinued is somewhat similiar in that it takes down and had different barrels and bolts such as this but used an one piece plastic stock and could be had left or right hand. S&W discontinued them and thats all folks. Its not cool stuff like USOG owns but im thinking on getting an takedown conversion on one of my Ruger Hawkeyes. I cant afford the high end stuff and beside that theres very little offered in general for we left hand afflucted folk so we just have to make due with our junk we have.

I had a fabarm folding shotgun and sold it and have kicked myself for years. They make spectacular firearms and do a lot of private labeling.

The Fabarm break action rifles also look interesting

Can you do the Browning BLR? Just it's a lever action with a traditional magazine, I'm really interested to see what you think on it.

My favorite is the: Browning BLR '81 stainless steel Takedown (lever-action with detachable magazines).

Man i want this gun

Them thar Itallian rapscallions are some gun making some beotches leme tell ya now.

Of course, Italian weapons, like car design, are one of the most beautiful in the world.

Very Nice... Blessings To Fellow American Patriots. Amen

Cant find one here in Ontario Canada found a few shotguns from them

Dont forget perazzl

With all do respect as the saying goes....If you have German engineering and Italian cooking your in heaven the other way around your in.....well....love your videos...

In this video you mention that you try to have firearms from each country that makes firearms. Have you by any chance handled any of the lithgow rifles from Australia?

I have two bolt action guns made in Italy by arsenal firearms in 308 and 223 I bought them at Canadian Tire of all places they were on sale for 50%off I believe they have rem.700 actions

Have you looked at any Browning rifles with BOSS systems. Have you noticed if so, that the barrel lengths are not what were advertised and were about 2 inches shorter. So if they claim a 22" barrel on a older A-bolt, it's somewhere closer to 19"-20" range. They basically add the BOSS brake as length I guess. Kind of deceiving possibly, for a guy that wants the desired velocities of the caliber they bought.

It reminds me of the Briley Trans Pecos

Do you have email so I could ask you a few questions from another enthusiast?

What rifle is this

I’m enjoying your videos! Don’t worry about what the cry baby’s say. We normal people that hunt and shoot and use our guns and sometimes setting our guns around and they fall get dinged scratched

Ive looked to see availibility on these and cant find anything other than shotguns.

Where do you purchase one in the USA

This gun is not available in the u.s. according to a fabarm dealer I spoke to. So how do I get one? You used to reply back when there were 2k subscribers, but now I know it's much more difficult. Hopefully you'll see this.

Sling swivel mounts?

The very concept of a takedown rifle, built with a full power cartridge in mind, has fascinated me since I started playing videogames and started consuming gun-related media. However, I prefer more conservative look on the gun rather than the piece you show there. In 1976 Rogue Male (another Rogue Male screen adaptation I've already mentioned in your comment section) Peter O'Toole has some kind of takedown Mauser action rifle. The movie footage doesn't show any markings, is it possible to find out who made that gun by some other external features? I think that could be a Rigby or Westley Richards, however that's just an assumption

It's nice to see a channel that focuses on nice wood and blued steel.

Never know what caused such a sour disposition and strong opinion...it's so easy to ruin a good day. If only that gentleman could put hands on a well engineered and polished machining feat.

I really want this beautiful rifle but I’m broke

How timely. I was looking for a good takedown but only found the Browning BLR

I know why you gave it just 9/10. Beautiful, smart and light rifle but. Its just not a mauser 98 😉

Is there a German viewer who can comment on the legal status of decockers? Is it true that that is mandated in some way?

That is one beautiful gun. I would like to get one. Can you help me out.

Personally, the feel of a Fabarm Iris is 'clunky' and 'cubic' in general, with not that great of accuracy (you aren't going to get MOA from this rifle). The Browning A-and-X Bolts are both more accurate. The Winchester XTR (for a lower price) is 10x the rifle in terms of 'fit-and-feel' (again, with more accuracy). I think that, with enough real-range experience, it is why most don't truly become 'collectors', but collect the 'premium firearms' in given categories...

These guns are intended for going away on a trip they are lightweight for hunting but also for transport.. take down and multi calibre is taking 2 guns on Safari in one so to speak... very interesting and well engineered I like it. The safety mechanism is perfect and intuitive my favorite part. Tks for the look!

pitty that their Italian website is not secured or that they don't have an Instagram account.

Short barrels with slow twist rates - snatched defeat from the jaws of victory. Proper barrel lengths and faster twists aren't even a custom option. Not for me.

Hello mr. Usog!... I was just wondering if you could help me out... I have a little garage hobby shop where i make all kinds of wacky stuff.... Anyway i want to make my son and I a couple of little black powder muzzle loading shotguns... Im new to the whole gun process but i think i have all the machinery and equipment to pull it off... Plus all the leather tooling for the possibles bags!😀anyway i wanted to make these little rifles from scratch so i was wondering if 7/8 4140 steel would work for the barrel... I was going to drill and ream it to a 3/8 bore.... Is that too small?im just making a basic hammer like the book" a rifle anyone can build " by Jerry Lindsey.... I dont plan on the gun shooting more than a hundred feet to take a rabbit as most of my shots are at about 60 feet at most.... Also if its safe... Can you tell me how to come up with a formula to know how much powder i can load without hurting myself? I dont want to make a claymore mine!😬...😂😂😂😂

why not make a bolt strip？

Really neat, no doubt a nice rifle, but aesthetically it leaves me flat.

Not a single Fabarn rifle on gun broker, shotguns yes rifles no

No offense, but you often comment on the quality of items that you have only shot and used a tiny amount. I appreciate your comments on history and functionality, but as far as durability and quality I would be better off to listen to someone who has extensively used their firearms.

You don't list what rifle you are talking about! Self-defeating!
