Re: Pedersoli Kodiak MkIV double rifle 45-70

Slimbo,

Here's a long thread about the Pedersoli Kodiak Mk. IV, concluding with my experience in shooting the one I owned. I tried to dispel a lot of bullshit, but don't think I was very successful. Read the whole thread. My report, near the end, is truthful and accurate as observed by my personal loading and shooting.

You can't horse the Kodiak. Use it as intended and you have a really fine double rifle. That's my conclusion in a nutshell. Others disagree.

I sold my rifle, then bought it back, and then sold it again. You can have a look at it here:

I can give a enthusiastic endorsement of this rifle. It's a well made, reasonably priced double in a useful caliber. Don't buy one thinking it can be made into a dangerous game rifle. It cannot.

I always thought it was a great alternative for plinking in that it is cheap and pleasant to shoot and it takes the wear off my antique BP hammer guns. But then, I let it go.
