What is this? A Marlin 97 knock-off that's 5 years old?

Centerfires, rimfires, pistol cartridges and everything in between.

It is an old Italian company, like Uberti, they usually make good guns that follow the old Winchester and Marlin designs as close to the original design as possible. Some parts sometimes can interchange with the American originals, like my current broken ejector I'm fixing today.

Should be a decent shooter.
