Contrary to its predecessor the STR, the new Sabatti “STR SPORT” is definitely competition oriented.
The STR SPORT rifle comes with the Sabatti signature short action and a 3-round magazine. The barrel is 0.8’’(22mm) diameter at the muzzle and 710 mm long.
The bolt with its interchangeable tactical knob and the external magazine release lever are particularly suitable for the fast pace of competitions.
The rifle comes with either the three-lever Match or the new two-stage Match (DSMT) trigger.
The Tactical modular butt stock is machined from two solid blocks of high resistance Ergal 55 light alloy. The wider forend features an Anschutz-type bipod-ready rail. The non-foldable butt stock comes with a lower tube for resting on a standard rear bag allowing enhanced shooting stability.
The action features also a 20 MOA steel rail.

The 308 Winchester (7.62x51 NATO) was introduced by in 1952. Based on the T65 experimental military cartridge, Winchester essentially jumped the gun with the civilian introduction; the 7.62x51 wasn't officially adopted (or named) until 1954. The military's intent was to create a shorter cartridge that would fit into a lighter version of the M1 Garand. This was successful beyond their wildest dreams: The 308 Winchester is essentially a 30-06 case greatly shortened to 2.015-inch, but it lags only about 100 feet per second behind the 30-06 in velocity, and with it shorter, more efficient case it tends to be more accurate. The 308 is suitable for any hunting for which the 30-06 is suitable--which means almost anything in the world short of large, dangerous game. The 308 is a standard chambering among most manufacturers and is found in all action types. Factory loads are legion, including a wide selection of very accurate match loads. — Craig Boddington
