I had a Pedersoli Blue Ridge and it was a great shooter. I got a wild hair one day and sold it. I wish I hadn't done that. But any way I just won this rifle off GB. Like Pahoo said this rifle is "In The Spirit" of what was used in the past. I don't care if its not period correct. It has the features and barrel length I like.
A Pedersoli Scout Carbine with 28" barrel in 50 caliber. I would like one of these in 45 caliber but I couldn't beat the price. My total to my door is $341.00. Thats half of what a new one would have cost.

The seller even reduced my shipping so I am a happy camper. I hope the Op comes back and tells us if he found a rifle and what he got.
