I personally would put my money on the PEDEROSOLI brand! I looked at a lot of them but it came down to spending $3600 for a Sharps Montana, or the Pederosoli for $1800 dollars. The 30 inch barrel is octagon, caliber is 45/90 and it shoots 1.5 inch groups at 50 yds with the irons off the bench. I have double set triggers on this John Bodine model. This is going to be a present for the wife!
