Made by P Bendini of Italy.

Hello,

I looked up P. Bendini when you mentioned him previously, but could find nothing except pistols. He appears to have made some very fine guns. If his rifles are of the same quality as the single shot pistols I've seen, you must have a very fine gun. Can you post any photos?

Take care, Tom

Ok thats different.Am happy with the rifle.Mate wants to know how I hit the target so many times, as he says I was swaying all over the place.

I shot a match once and one of the shooter was swaying all over with his handgun.
But he was putting them in the black.

One of the other shooters asked how he was able to keep them in the black.
He said, "It's all in knowing when to "pull" the trigger."
