Gotta disagree about the rail thing I am afraid Shane!
I dont think rails are a bad thing, I just dont think they do much on shorter guns. My C4 monoscocca100 is deadly accurate and quiet, without a rail or even a spear support!
Murat, It is difficult to compare the Albatross, Gabbiano and Pelagos, as they are all very good guns, most of the differences are aesthetic. All have excellent balance, but I find the Gabbiano handles best for me, (part of this is probably that I am not a great fan of wooden guns for British conditions, I dont take care of my kit, so after a few trips in the RIB they end up looking like someone attacked them with a hammer!)
