Joe,

Welcome to the forum.

I had a Pedersoli Kodiak Mk. IV in .45/70 and liked it a lot. A friend liked it better and persuaded me to sell it to him last year. Contrary to the opinions of some other shooters, I found mine limited to the factory Remington 405 grain loads, or equivalent. That's not necessarily a negative, mind you. I just don't want you to think you can make it into a poor-man's dangerous game rifle.

Keep us posted.
