PEDERSOLI 45-70 Double Barrel Rifle 

Nice we get 45-70 double rifles here in the UK. Thumbs up and thank you for the video. :)

long live the 45-70, 140 years and still kicking :-) I shoot my 1895 Marlin comfortably up to 100 yards, at 200 yards the buckhorn sides makes it a bit more challenging :-)

I have a Pedersoli replica Sharps 1874 in .45/70 and. Ruger No 1 which will handle hard kicking loads. The Pedersoli double is a lovely rifle, shot one some years ago and wish I had bought it. Factory .45/70 loads are quit mild compared to what is possible with hand loads in a modern rifle . Definitely a pig rifle.

Love the sound of the ricochets! Sweet rifle.

Thanks for showing it 👍

Gotta watch out for those outback Elephants 😳😅

Have the Pedersoli double in 45-70 but with a silver colored engraved receiver. Just got mine used at Cabelas in Idaho. The gun is fun to shoot and gets a lot of attention when I take it out. Thanks for the video cause I think it’s the first one on RU-vid with this particular firearm.

That was a really fun rifle I think it’s worth the 11grand in my opinion . Pedasoli makes very high quality rifles and Musket reproductions. I would love to own their 1873 Springfield reproduction in 45/70😊

Great vid Aaron what a rifle im overwhelmingly surprised in such a rifle in that caliber how versatile

Very beautiful gun, it's nice to see a break action double rifle. Here in America we have single shot break action rifles readily available. The ones that come to mind are the Henrys and Thompson Contenders, though there are others. I'm assuming those two are allowed in Australia?

Good shooting. Expensive rifle!!! 👍🍺😎

The fausti sxs in 45-70 is also a great handling rifle.

Try the Garrett Hammerhead ammunition. I handload for the 45-70 and will say that all but a few factory loads are anemic at best.

First thing I thought was this thing was gonna kick the shit out of you. I'm guessing it must be really heavy to soak up that 45-70 recoil. I shot a friend's Rossi Rio Grande 45-70 years ago and it was pretty harsh. Pedersoli does make some really nice rifles from what I've seen. They make replicas of the Springfield Trapdoor and various falling block and lever actions. Had no idea that they had a double barrel rifle though.

Made the 45/70 seem like a pussycat. You can load these bad boys up to take down an elephant...

That is a beautiful gun .... be nice to have that in the collection.

That's a rifle, in a caliber, I would never have expected to shoot that accurately at that distance and with apparently negligable recoil. I was blown away when you drilled that first cannister! Could be a very addicting habit. You are shooting subsonic ammo that still hits like Thor's hammer.

G'day wow what a rifle 👍🍻

I think at 11k (given the current exchange anyway) you would like the Austrian Franz Sodia double rifles in maybe somthing like a 9.3x74r.

The Baikal Double rifle in 45/70 has a special adjustable barrel Supper accurate. Only cost 900 bucks. I’d like to see it in 45/90 or bigger That Pedersoli looks great.

45-70 is $98 a box of 20 at my local shop, but I suppose $5 a round is not a problem when you've got an 11k rifle.

Doesn't that rifle come with an extra set of 12 gauge/bore shotgun barrels?

What range is it regulated for, I'm guessing it can't be adjusted via grub screws like the Baikals.

Changing loads should definitely affect "points" of impact.

Oh my God! Your Australia is beautiful. But honestly, I thought the Aussies had turned into bleeding pussified wimps. I thought you all let the Socialists take your guns away from you. Glad to see the Commies didn't get them all. 45-70 is a great cartridge. They have a trajectory like a rainbow, but they are so fun to shoot long distances. 300- 500 yards shots are very satisfying and without a 30 shot magazine I can have an afternoon of quality time in the field without breaking the budget. Reloading those 45-70s are a breeze too. Just love them. A good spotting scope is an accessorie that I find really good to bring with me when shooting paper targets and long range silhouettes also. I have a gas canister hanging from a tripod made of rebar and it rings out like a bell so great it puts a smile on my face when it peels.

Can you put a scope on this rifle

Had one I purchased in 1998 for $2200 sold it in 2015 for $4200 sure have gone up in price. They are regulated for the 405gr bullet and will shoot rights and lefts into a 4 in group at 75yds I shot the dickens out if mine.

Nice rifle for sure and the recoil is mitigated by the 10.5# weight. 🥵

Nice looking rifle, so is the price tag

1:16 you can hear the bullet spin off the side of the cylinder.

Buying one

Stick it up

Brown's plains store needs to sort out their web page link it shit.

Desde campana Buenos Aires argentina....divina..quiero una...salut

A very pretty double rifle indeed. And it would probably be enough gun for any North American game. But if you had some Cape buffalos running around in your backyard, perhaps trampling your mom's azaleas, then I would recommend something with a bit more kick.

I have been a professional shooter for 35 years and as soon as it even looks like rain the rifles go back in the bags and straight on the pack horse , or tent .

It would be awesome if it was hammerless, just a box lock...

Rifle is faulty, 45-120 chamber reamer required to fix.

👍🏻

No kick from full loads... Just shows how gutless the 45-70 actually is... Nice for shooting anything that can't bite you.

11 grand ? Thats a lot of mula for a big bore double barrel rifle.

It does not recoil because your shooting wussy loads. Factory ammo is pathetic, get some buffalo Bore P+ then you'll feel it. Also at 9.5lbs or more the weight is absorbing the recoil. Get the one in 450NE it will be a whole different story mate! Good video.

arent this inaccurate? since it is double barrel?

Horrible the grouping of that double.
