Nice Condition considering age... January 23, 2023 Reviewer: Rory Lee from Berkeley, CA   Hard to believe how good the condition was considering the age of the rifle.  Barrel was basically new, and looks like it was barely shot at all.  Can't use full power loads so be careful of that.  Wood and finish is what you would expect of a rifle of this age.  Weighs more than most boat anchors and is almost as tall as I am, but neat shootable piece of history with the proper downloaded charge.  Modern replica clip does not work well however, and the last round won't load properly, but I am not sure it ever did from the final arsenal rebuild, so I can't blame RTI for that.  I really wish it had come with a cleaning rod, but I know they usually don't.

Vetterli 1870/87/16 December 3, 2022 Reviewer: Drew Zelle from Townsend, WI United States   I received this rifle after paying $236 during the flash sale.  It arrived dirty, grimy, and needs a significant amount of cleaning.  But, it has all components, less cleaning rod, and the stock matches the serial number.  I am more than pleased and find that it is well worth the $236 dollar investment and my time to clean it.  Thanks RTI!  Great gun for a good price.

$199 sale price, satisfied December 3, 2022 Reviewer: David from MA United States   I bought three when on sale at $199. 2 look great, 1 is a little rough, as expected. No cleaning rods. They look like they'll clean up great. Matching numbers on the 2 nicer ones. Overall, I'm pretty satisfied and will buy from RTI again. Was this review helpful to you?

Great for its price when on discount November 1, 2022 Reviewer: Darren   It's an antique and often they put on a sale.  Everything came intact with no parts missing or cracked, mechanically functions perfectly with snap caps.  Bore is acceptable given the price.  Absolute must for an Italian milsurp collector.  Barely any cleaning was needed, just some light Ballistol and it's good to go.  Overall pretty satisfied.

Excellent value on antique rifle October 28, 2022 Reviewer: John from Pendleton, OR United States   First purchase from RTI.  Received a Trenti 1890 rifle with little original finish remaining, some minor rust in spots, unbelievably dirty, but cleaned up absolutely beautifully.  Excellent rifling.  Looks like it was carried around, and handled continuously for years, but rarely fired.  Minor cracks in stock, lots of dings and dents, but nothing structurally important.  â€œAOI” stamped on stock, other unit marks on stock are visible, but quite faint from combination of filth and wear.  Had one incorrect part, but quickly and painlessly exchanged by truly outstanding RTI customer service representative, Stephanie.  Exceptionally pleased with this rifle, and my more importantly, with RTI’s super duper after-the-sale support.  I bought two other different rifles after this great experience.  Buy with complete confidence!

1874 Brescia October 2, 2022 Reviewer: Julian T from NC   Bought this during the labor day sale. The metal is in good shape though I can't quite see how the bore is since it's very dirty. The wood is decent but needs a good scrub. No cleaning rod but everything else seems present. Overall I am satisfied and would recommend. Was this review helpful to you?

Another good rifle. September 23, 2022 Reviewer: Shane from KS   I ordered one of these during their flash sale. This one showed up in amazing condition. Stock was amazing. All marking were crisp, had most of its finish in tact, and had an amazing bore. Was this review helpful to you?

1880 Brescia August 21, 2022 Reviewer: Paulie from Florida   My first rifle purchase from RTI was a good one. I wanted a Vetterli for my Italian collection and decided to pull the trigger on one. I received a very nice example with a beautiful stock with no cracks. Bore cleaned up nice. Bluing is probably 60-70%. Didn’t have a cleaning rod but I was able to get one elsewhere. Will buy again.

My Vetterli is a hoot! July 24, 2022 Reviewer: Jeff Adams from Florida   I purchased an Italian Vetterli rifle and it’s a hoot!  It looks like something carried by the sand people on Tatooine, or a Victorian explorer at a steampunk convention.  I spent the extra $100 for a hand select model.  Stock is beat-up but solid, no rust, and 70% - 80% of the original blue on the receiver and barrel.  If I ever figure out how to remove the bolt, I’ll scrub out the bore and see its condition.  I have no plans to shoot the rifle, but it will look dandy hanging on the wall and being envied by my friends.
