45-70 vs. 12 ga. Coach gun

Of course it's a true sidelock. Pedersoli doesn't do cheesy.

The price depends on whether you want the 20 Gauge barrel set also, and whether you want Standard or Deluxe.

Before looking, remember that, for a double rifle, this is a bargain price.

About what I figured...still a nice double, and like you said not a bad price for what you get. Of course that still doesn't mean I can afford one. :banghead:

That's the Deluxe model for $2000 more (fancier metal and high-grade walnut). They throw in the case with it (it's probably a pretty nice case, that would retail for at least $300, about average for a leather-covered case for a breakdown gun).

If you want to see the Law of Diminishing Marginal Rates of Return, check out O/U shotguns. A nice one will run maybe $2000. The fancier versions of the same gun can hit several times as much, without being substantially different.

I noticed that later...then changed my post so I wouldn't look like an idiot. ...but you caught me.

Oh no, I still think it's a hell of a lot of money for nicer grain and different metal finish (especially considering that some companies like Beretta charge more for CCH than nickel).

Dang, that Pedersoli double is perty! A little pricey for my water-jug plinking though.

Hmm, I didn't realize that...I like color case hardened better myself, at least with a rifle like that one.
