Thanks for the replies!
Research? What's that? Actually, I did look at Gander Mountain and Cabella's; Gander Mountain had very little in reproductions (which is what I wanted), so I went with the rifle at Cabella's. Guess I've never been very good at researching; I usually go on price and reputation of store selling what I want (thus, Cabella's). I have always been a firm believer in "you get what you pay for".

I read everything on Pedersoli's site and their "Owners Manual" left a lot to the imagination; just very general information. It appears it is intended to cover every rifle they make, in 4 languages. I sent them an e-mail several days ago, but have not heard anything back.

Now I have some homework, reading the sites from Underclocked. One of the reasons I bought the rifle so early is that it gives me plenty of time to get familiar with it.

Fawn??? After 38 deer seaons (39, if you count the year Minnesota closed the season and I sat on my stand with a camera), that really hurts (just kidding)
