fourbore - you're right - a target design for sure - no open rear sight, even. That's something one would need & is available for under $100.00 in a 1 leaf or 2 leaf. I'd probably go 1 leaf so I'd have 2 sights, standing and the leaf. The point blank sight for out to 130, then the leaf for 150 to 175 yards.

I'm somewhat shocked at the .004" rifling - the twist is OK, but with that twist (for that bore size), I'd prefer at least .006" or better yet, .008". Of course, pressures are low, as-are velocities, with any load one might want to shoot.

Getting 1,500fps is going to hurt in a 9 1/4 pound rifle, and is probably considerably over what Pedersoli's maximum load is.

The reason I suggest 1,500fps is for a trajectory to 125yards being pretty much point blank.
