New Bolt Action designed by SABI Rifles

We are proud to introduce the first South African designed and built bolt actions by. These actions have a unique design 3 lug system in all the models as follows below, and as an example we will be able to produce the Double Square Bridge action for a fraction of the current prices of the newly produced Sporting Mauser actions.

Our Actions have the following features:
