When I was looking at .50 cal rifles that were of a handy size I found 3 that weren't expensive. The one you mention, the Pedersoli Country Hunter, and the Lyman's Deerstalker.

I ended up with the Deerstalker as it came with a blend of modern and traditional features. It was light, but not so light that were I to use conicals it would become uncomfortable to shoot at the range.

I'd say if you were looking for a more traditional gun maybe the Pedersoli would be your choice (has a faster twist, but it's fairly light). If fiber optic sights and a recoil pad are to your liking maybe you'd like the Lyman's.
