The triggerplate is signed "Badillini" for Italian Master Engraver Giacomo Badillini. The rifle features a double set trigger, roller right hand triggerguard, and a tang mounted manual safety switch. Highly figured, multi-point checkered Schnabel tip forend with engraved fittings, including the Deeley latch release, and pistol grip stock with raise cheekpiece and ventilated black rubber recoil pad.
