I know this is an old thread; but Ive wanted one of these. I had a 58cal. It just didnt fill my lust for a BIG BORE, true it was bigger than anything I had short of my Brown Bess; it just wasnt what I wanted. I have to say Im not impressed with the small powder charge Pedersoli recommends. I was picturing something like 150 grs or maybe 200??? Ive shot well over 100 in my Brown Bess, so 150+ seems doable; but if its only regulated for 80grs Im not sure I see the point.

Recently Ive been looking for one and have come up empty. Im not sure if Pedersoli has discontinued it or if its because of the recent run on the gun industry. For all those reasons I find myself leaning towards a single shot like the Gibbs African Hunter

On a side note, I remember the 45-70 is enough arguments. I never bought into that argument, to the point of thinking it was silly; but then I always subscribed to MORE is MORE and Less is Less.
