I don't have a Pedersoli but they are an interesting option. The earlier models did have some issues but the newer models appear to have had those problems resolved. What I like about them is the variety of configurations available, including versions in SS and models with factory CCH and octagonal barrels. They also have their version of a bolt mounted peep sight, similar to the optional sights on the original Win 71's.
I had been thinking of ordering one but a nice Browning 1886 came up and I ended up buying that instead. A half mag Pedersoli 86/71 in SS, fitted with a bolt mounted peep, would be pretty handy for hunting in wet and humid conditions.
