Does anyone have experience with one of these rifles
Or an opinion about them seems like it would be fun for
Plinking and challenging for deer and elk

Very pretty, and Pedersoli makes good stuff. “Elk” might be pushing things a bit, although Brian Pearce has killed some (and deer and bears) with standard .45 Colt loads in SA Army revolvers. I’d check with the manufacturer before hotrodding it though. Can’t assume anything based on say, the fact that some were chambered in 7mm Mauser back in the day. This one’s action size might be different.

Nice to see actual photos, not stock ones. You took a big chance posting that link; that store is only a couple of hours away from me!

this is from the owners manual in part:

below mentioned data are compared to the Crusher (C.U.P) / P.S.I method.
IN NO CASE SHOULD THE CARTRIDGES EXCEED SUCH VALUES OR THOSE SET FOR THE
