    Pedersoli Rocky Mountain Hawken - question on quality: any owner of recently newly made piece here?

    I can’t speak for the RMH, but I do have a Pedersoli Santa Fe Hawken(same as Missouri River Hawken) with maple stock and browned barrel. I received it in May of this year and I couldn’t be happier with fit and finish quality. It seems very durable so far having been shot quite a bit and packed...

    Pedersoli Hawken Hunter

    Montana Vintage Arms in Belgrade makes a good one, it flips from a post to a globe with bead.

    Help me to decide?

    I have a Pedersoli Kentucky in .45-it’s a nicely made, very good quality rifle that I never shoot anymore because of the lack of set triggers and more of a pain to clean, it also beats my face up worse than any other rifle I own. The Pedersoli-made GPR I have is a tack driver but a little heavy...

    Bear Banger

    ^^What he said-bear’s lungs sit very low in the chest cavity with a comparatively small heart. There’s a lot of open space in the top half of the chest cavity, any shot placed higher than center can lead to a long and potentially hazardous tracking job. I personally wouldn’t get hung up on...

    Conical bullet recommendation for T/C Patriot.45

    Thanks for sharing that, gives me a good idea of safe powder charge.

    Conical bullet recommendation for T/C Patriot.45

    I recently acquired my first bp pistol, a Patriot in .45. I’ve read that they are prone to cracking the stock, and was hoping for some guidance as to what weight bullet and approximate powder charge would be a safe bet to avoid problems. Thanks!

    Pedersoli

    Thanks-I should have clarified that I was looking for the 50 with 1:24 twist. I wish the 45 was faster than 1:47, I have a Pedersoli Kentucky rifle in 45 with that twist rate and can’t get the results I’m looking for especially when it’s cold outside.

    Pedersoli

    I’ve been searching for a Pedersoli Missouri River Hawken for a month with no luck. IFG, the importer (or one of them at least) told me that Italy was completely shut down for around a year and has had limited production since starting back up because of supply issues. They told me to expect a...

    WANTED Fast twist 50 cal barrel for T/C Hawken or GPR (Pedersoli)

    That’s some fine shootin! And an awfully pretty gun to boot.

    WANTED Fast twist 50 cal barrel for T/C Hawken or GPR (Pedersoli)

    That is one nice setup! I’m eager to see how far I’ll be able to shoot accurately-I can shoot out to 1400 yards from my porch so we’ll see if the laser eye surgery was worth the money haha! I’m supposed to be acquiring a prototype vernier style sight similar to the ones used on the...

    Another MT amateur

    I’m all for it myself-seems like a “traditional” muzzleloader season ought to be just that. Plus now I have a legitimate reason to put together more rifles and learn how to work up loads for a muzzleloader right? So far I’m really enjoying being able to test different powder charges without...

    Antelope hunting is always a good time, and I really enjoy my too-infrequent walleye trips out your way.
