"I do think they are generally more accurate rifles"

"Think",...that's the operative word in your little thesis.

Lots of us here KNOW , and have formulated ours on longer, and WAY broader experience bases.

The later Pedersoli barrels MARKEDLY improved over the earlier quality,....as did their reamer designs, but than again, so did the REST of the industry, in the same time period.

The SQUAREST Sharps '74 I've ever worked on (and I've worked on "A Few") is a Shilo, and the general evidence of "The Builder gave a Rat's azz" is clearly and unquestionably weighted to the American built arms.

To say that the stock Pedersoli is "Generally more accurate" is horsechit, Mister, and their product support SUCKS.
