How DARE you insult a lovely gun like that! I'd take her to the hunt ball any day. Certainly not one of those ugly plastic things with funny holes in the stock you see everywhere these days.

lol, yes it has a wood stock, but the forearm it way to short! Makes it ugly and cheap looking. Looks like a thin barrel too. Just doesnt seem Purdy to me.

I read a range report of a person that bought one of them, and it was an excellent shooter. Davide Pedersolli makes some excellent rifles.

The forearm is certainly not "way too short". It's "compact - yet fully functional" with no extra weight.

And the barrel is not "thin", it's "streamlined for woods walking".

TAKE THAT, nasty old gander!

I can see why the farmers liked them. Simple, not pretty as Gander said, but functional. For $225, I don't know how they can make them for that price. Chap Gleason

Wonder what the rate of twist is in it?
Not a bad looking rifle at all! If'n it is a round ball shooter I just might need to own one.....

Definitly not a thing of beuty, but looks very functional. I'd give it a go.
