Thought I'd share my new to me Pedersoli Rolling Block. The rifle was unfired until I got it. The barrel code indicates the year of manufacture at 1999. Now day's I think they call it a "Super Match". The barrel is 34", half round and the muzzle measures right at 1". The blued finish is very high gloss and no provision for a rear sight. The shotgun butt was a requirement for me after owning a long barreled Shiloh with a traditional military butt...not again.
I took her out a couple of weeks ago before the polar freeze and set up my bench to fire form some brass. The 17 shots produced a very ragged hole a bit smaller than a 50 cent piece, not too bad for the trial run at 100 yards. I was shooting the Postel 530's over 68 grains of Goex FFG. I'm happy with my find and really do anticipate the warmer weather ahead for some fine tuning.
