That I cannot tell you. Try them both, I guess. I would start with the lighter one I think. If your rifle has a slow twist, it will be more likely to stabilize for you.

A Martini target rifle with scope blocks to possibly install a Unertl or Lyman Targetspot telescope. If the Martini has original iron sights, so much the better. Are you right handed or left handed? The Martini comes both ways. They are priced at about one fifth of what a new one would cost to make. It is the highest quality single shot .22 you can buy for short money. Oh, I just realized that you are looking for a center fire. Forget everything I have said.

While rooting around the safe for that High Wall I came across another single shot I picked up years ago, a Martini Enfield in 30-40 Krag, at least barreled by Verner Gipson...everyone likes pics!

Anyone tempted to try one of these ought to explore the discussion of their merits at the time they debuted.

Frank de Haas covered them in "Single Shot Rifles". He was not complimentary. A friend was a Trinidad Junior College gunsmithing student (3 yr. graduate) during the 80's when these and the kits were plentiful. They used to finish the kits, sell them for a nice profit and invest the $$ in something worth while. His opinion is he wouldn't give one space in his safe. Seems they shot loose with anything other than the 22 long rifle and even then they reworked the actions.

As I recall, objections to these actions claimed they had major design flaws, would scarcely function, and were not safe to to operate. Aside from that ...

A real shame. It's a handsome looking package. Wish someone like Steve Bertram could make new internals for it.
