If this is the rifle, it does not say who makes it but from looking at it I would guess it to be an Investarms or Pedersolli. These are made in Italy. Investarms is the same company that makes Lyman rifles. If this is the maker of the rifle, they are a good rifle. You can also get them through Cabela's which is much better to deal with if there is a problem then I ever found Dixie Gun Works to be. The reason I suspect it is not a Pedersolli is because of the price. They are much more expensive usually.

This rifle has a 1-48 twist and double set triggers. They usually have the better stock to reduce recoil. I have Lyman .54 caliber Trade Rifle and it is a real good shooter. Some other traditional rifles to look at are the Lyman Great Plains Rifle, Great Plains Hunter, Lyman Trade Rifle, and the Cabela's line of traditional rifles.

I just looked over on Cabela's. WOW have those rifles gone up in price. You might want to check Tradition's Woodsman Hawkin although I do not think they come in .54 caliber anymore. They used to, and Sportsman's Guide was selling them very reasonable. I have a Tradition's Woodsman Hawkins and it is a great shooter..
