First some background. I first shot a BP gun in the early 70s. It was an antigue shotgun. We cut open modern shells for the shot and used toilet paper for wadding.
In the late 70s I got a TC. Through the 80s I shot various makes and calibers then slowly dropped out. Wanting a different challenge in 2000 or so I picked up a Crockett and started squirrel hunting again. Hurricane Katrina took most things in 05 and I didn't have the heart to restore so I gave away everything that didn't have some significant sentimental value.
I'm thinking it may be time for another squirrel gun. There is a Pedersoli on GunBroker that appeals to me. It is .32 cal full stock with no patchbox. Except for the brass furniture it is rather plain like a Southern rifle which is a style I like. I know nothing about the quality of this maker. Are these rifle generally accurate with the correct load and components? Are there issues I should consider? What is the general consensus regarding this maker and this model rifle?
