Greetings again,
The Carcano suffered from never having been chambered in sporting rifles plus being chambered in a military rifle that was a bit of an oddball by anyone's standards. It seems that, like me, you have an interest in older rifles and cartridges. Many of my rifles are chambered for cartridge from the century before last and only one (the most expensive) is from the current century. Regrettably it does not get out much.
