    My First Carcano

    Here is my first Carcano I purchased. It is a 1936 R.E. Terni build. I have had the opportunity to shoot it and it is awesome.

    Well Michael, enjoy it. Carcano's are very pleasant to shoot, and accurate enough.

    Not so much with our ammo in the US. Undersized bullets. Couldn't get mine on paper at 50 yards and it has a great bore.

    Hi Steve.

    Did you ever try with the right .268 bullets?
    Those rifles really can surprise you.

    No, I'm not a huge shooter. I've never fired the majority of what I own. So it hasn't been a high priority for me. I keep saying someday but that day never arrives. I have reloading dies and keep the brass so it may happen someday.
