Not too many .40 PRB rifles around to compare to. Dixie Cub .40 with 28" browned barrel made by Pedersoli with all the fixings
I LOVE the .40 so if I had $350 to spare I'd PM you right now, but the oven just crapped-out..., and the wife likes to bake stuff in-doors..., she's not interested in using my Dutch Oven out back until the oven is fixed or replaced.
I had a Dixie flyer I got with my new catalog and IIRC they were special priced at less than $400. But thats what my shakey memory recalls. The 40 is a caliber that is too big for small game and just a little small for deer. But its one I have always liked. Can you show better pictures of the gun? It looks like the finish is worn off the bottom of the stock. Here is the current price from Dixie but they are out of stock.

Well I am sort of interested in your rifle A couple of questions. Is this a kit built gun? The wood looks strange, do you know why it is light colored? And last and most important, how is the bore? Do you have a bore light to drop down the bore to get a picture?
Sorry to be a pest but I have learned from hard experience to ask about BP rifles and especially the bore.
I believe that the wood has a different color because it's the heart wood of the tree, like the core of the tree
