I have 2. One is the Billy Dixon version in 45-70 and the other is a Long Range Express in 50-70. Because both of my rifles were higher cost Pedersoli models their finish is very good. I bought both used but as new for about 55% of the catalog prices. In the US the exchange rate has hiked the cost of new Pedersolis a good bit but used rifles continue to be a bargain. You can buy nice used rifles from $900 to $1200.

I shoot both with 4759 and cast bullets. Accuracy for 5 shots is about 1.5" to 2" at 100 meters.
I shoot only aperture sights at round black bullseyes so these groups are easy to shoot with good bullets.

You can find a youtube video of the Pedersoli factory and the barrel making process.
The barrels are excellent with some choke at the muzzle for improved accuracy.

The American made competitors are very nice rifles but I don't like them enough to pay the premium prices. They don't make it clear there is several hundred dollars in sales tax added to their prices.
By the time you add everything on to get up to the level of one of the fancier Pedersolis you are looking at $3200 to $4000.

For the most part Pedersolis will compete accuracy wise with the Montana rifles though they can never match the curb appeal. You will have to add better sights. The normal Pedersoli tang sight is a low priced $50 muzzle loader sight.

Send me a PM if I missed anything you might like to know.

For a better perspective check out the Cast Boolits web site.
There is an Aussie by the handle Bad Ass Wallace. He has 5 different Pedersoli models in 5 different calibers with good photos on the following thread. Perhaps you can contact him for more details.
If the link does not work copy and paste it into your browser.
