12 is the bore I would prefer, Steve, although at one time I thought of replacing my 14 bore barrel with a 16 bore barrel. I talked this over with Dan Pharris and he seems to think the 16 all-round bore rifle for North America. I concur - it's a great bore size, but I have seen buddy Keith's big 11 bore smash moose to the ground, the .735" ball driven by 150gr.2F.

I know how my 14 bore staggers moose, with it's .68 cal. ball, a step or two, then they drop. I am assuming the 16 to be quite similar to that with a .65 cal. ball. Indeed, the 16 bore was the smallest size Forsyth recommended for India's dangerous game, tiger, buffalo, elephant and bear.

Nice, Steve, very nice indeed, but so small compared to the 2 bore single you built.

How's that, Huvius? Those Pedersoli 12 bores are VERY nicely appointed, indeed, especially for a 'factory' rifle. I'd say underpriced for what you are getting, for sure. You could not, or rather I should say, it would cost me over $1,000.00 for the parts, just as it did for my own 14 bore back in 1986.
