The Cei-Rigotti was an early Italian self-loading rifle introduced in 1900. Developed by a major in the bersaglieri (Italian light infantry) named Amerigo Cei-Rigotti, the rifle reflect the experience of its inventor by being light, handy, and maneuverable. Despite being a rather forward-thinking design (not only was it a self-loading rifle in a practical length, but it was also capable of fully automatic fire), the Cei-Rigotti was never adopted by any nation and remains a rare and valuable example in the evolution of small arms.
Don't worry. I didn't include the caliber as I couldn't find a definitive source. Most sources say 6.5mm Carcano but there are at least a couple of them chambered for 7.65x53mm.
