Sabatti 22lr semi auto

Still feeling rough from the work party at the weekend today so
took a trip over to a gunshop to stock up on 7.5's and clays for
Boxing Day to cheer myself up. Of course you can't go to the
gunshop without having a nosey and this caught my eye

(Excuse the tired looking fat bastard in the photo. It was one
of those parties with too much drink and too many blondes :-[ )
Anyway a friend is looking to buy a 22lr in the new year so I'm
keeping an eye out for him (that's my excuse) and spotted this.
Looked strange with the split stock and heavy barrel, and the
mag well looked like it took ruger 10/22 mags but definitely
wasn't a ruger... Anyway on closer inspection its a sabatti
22lr, it takes ruger 10/22 mags (so I liberated a 25 round mag
off the wall to check). Feels good and looks awesome, I've read
up on them a bit and apparently theyre an Italian company that
are licensed to copy some ruger 10/22 parts. Decent enough price
as well at £350!
Has anyone any experience with them? I'm always a bit hesitant
to buy copies/clones but this definitely caught my eye... If my
friend doesn't want it there's a good chance my cz 455 17hmr
will be getting swapped ::) lol

Yeah they'd look well if they came in stainless, though could
always duracoat it I suppose? Been trying to look up reviews on
how accurate they are but very little info, was going to pick up
a 22 at some point for bench rest shooting, was planning on one
of the new ruger bolt actions tho now I'm wondering about this
lol

Elite guns in newry mate, also saw a nice 6.5 mil rifle going
for about £6k :o lol
Found a few small reviews on the sabatti today, apparently with
the bull barrel they are very accurate, well as far as semi
autos go, but reliability can be an issue (jamming, etc), tho
the guy don't seem to try to many different brands of ammo. Read
something about the recoil spring being overly complicated as
well, but... Still want it lol

There is a simple fix for .22 auto that jam. You take bolt apart
and cutv6 coils off the return spring same as rugers some have
jamming probs with subs only some of them so nobody get the
nickers in a twist.
Young guns near castle dawson said he rang ruger and this is
what they suggested.
