$300-$550, depending on condition.
200 or so
It all depends on condition. The Italian Vetterli-Vitali 1870/87 in 10.35x47R(10.4x47R) is more collectable than the 1915 conversion to 6.5 carcano and is safer to shoot. The ammo is very scarce, but can be hand loaded. In vg condition $500+ would be a fair price. They do seem to becoming more popular these days and I've had mine for years. It really is a fine looking rifle.
Commonly called the Carcano, this was a bolt action military rifle that fired a 6.5mm bullet. It was the standard rifle of the Italian military for many years. It was also the type of rifle reportedly used to kill President John Kennedy.
Gun shops, gun shows, on line auctions, on line stores, estate sales, garage sales, for sale ads, want ads. Personally, I would say...........in my gun collection. hey any idea on cost of cartridges? they cost more each than the rifle!!

Your rifle is an Italian military rifle known as a Carcano. It was manufactured by Fabricca Armi Terni, the Italian military arsenal, in 1942. There are several versions, yours is probably the "fucile" or long rifle version. It should be chambered to fire the 6.5x52 mm (or "6.5 Carcano" or "6.5 Italian") round, but some fired the 7.35mm Italian round, or the 7.9 mm (8mm) German Mauser round.

Well, we CAN tell you that it is Italian, and lkely a military rifle- since Terni was the national Armory for Italy. Beyond that, we need some description.
