FIRST LOOK: The Sabatti STR Precision Rifle Comes Stateside

By Dave Bahde

Precision rifles have changed considerably over the last several years. Early in my law enforcement career, 24-inch barrels were common on these rifles, and if you were engaging at farther distances, a 26-inch barrel might be used. You would see 22-inch barrels on lightweight hunting rifles, but anything shorter for tactical purposes was limited to “short-range” engagements. In fact, I still remember a recognized “expert” telling me that anything shorter than 22 inches was useless beyond 200 yards.
