Re: Pedersoli Sharps ?

I have a Pedersoli Sharps in 45/120 (3 1/4") and I have never had a moments doubt that it will deliver accuracy, and reliability, however, I do not load it up to full power for the range, I use circa 95 grs Swiss BP, the airspace being filled with a wax wad, the modern case will not take the full 120 grs of powder due to the heavy construction of the solid head case, as to finish, I have seen C Sharps repros and have been less than impressed, the engraving looks like it was done by a kid, and the last one I saw looked like dull chrome plated! A very big advantage of the Pedersoli is that the frame/action, is made the proper way, by forging, this is so much better and stronger than machining from a solid block,(which is how the C Sharps is made), I wonder if these manufacturers export the less than perfect pieces to USA, knowing the standards there are so much lower, I have heard the same comments about quality of the Uberti products, all of these manufacturers products are of excellent, (better than original), when sold in Europe.
Having just looked at the comparative prices between USA and Europe, I cant help thinking the USA exports must be some reduced quality products as I see the prices in USA are almost half of those in Europe, even allowing for EU taxes there is still a huge difference, that goes for both Uberti, and Pedersoli.
