Re: Build a hammer double on a Rossi early progress
01/03/07 07:40 AM

I found a factory cased Pedersoli Kodiak 45-70 w/20ga tubes for sale this morning, on the Accurate Reloading forum classifieds - for $3,500-! Since I'd tied up all my gun budget in my Browning levers and singles didn't want to even think about it, and posted the info on this forum. After thinking about it more, and trying to rationally consider just how long it'll take to finish our new house, and then get my machine shop set up and organized, and finally get my 20ga/30-40 Rossi hammer double ready for proof (after which I could be back to square 1 anyway) - all of a sudden that $3,500- sounded like a good deal. I could still eventually manufacture a new monoblock (or 2!)for 30-40 & 50-110 to fit the proofed Pedersoli action, and in the interim have a 45-70 for deer and a 20ga for birds, besides which I'd have gun which could readily be resold if the need arose. Decided I could sell my 25-35 Browning HighWall, 22 Hornet LoWall, both 20ga. Rossi shotguns, and quickly raise better than half of what I'd have to borrow ... and attempted to send a PM to the seller and couldn't get the function to work on that forum, sent a post to his ad and had to run out for 2 hrs.

Well, when I returned it was sold pending funds, and after I emailed another response to his ad, the seller said I have first refusal if the deal falls through. I've been watching another on GunBroker @ $4,600- w/reserve not met, and finally called Dixie as they hadn't responded to my quote request on a new Pedersoli Kodiak 45-70 w/fitted 20ga. brls ... $6,500- plus an additional $1,000- for a factory fitted case - boy did I ever blow it on not jumping on the other one! Please keep answering my questions as I'm not giving up on building, just more seriously questioning my proposed Rossi platform, and at $3,500- I could've started with a shooter and a known quantity in a Pedersoli, and sold my Rossi's to cowboy shooters ... well, can't win em all!
