26" inch octagonal bore, full length magazine tube, American walnut stock, borach rifled match grade bore, and hard kickin' 45/70 Govt. calibre. Love the Pedersoli 1886 Winchester repro! - วิทยาศาสตร์และเทคโนโลยี
The rifle arrived today and I dialed in the scope just a couple hours ago th-cam.com/users/postUgkxQt2uORDRfFOVSrO4idv4B90ThT6EOnEL . I haven’t shot with a scope in probably 25 years. The X on the left was my target. (the shot almost in the bullseye on the right X was my father in laws first shot after I made adjustments) The two shots circled are my first 2 shots. Then I brought it down - shot once. Then brought it over to the left. From there zeroed it in to dead center. This all was from 25 yards out. Follow instructions carefully when mounting the scope. So far I'm very happy with the purchase.
It is Fantastic to see a European so enthusiastic about Shooting an American Legend. We are Watching capandball
The 1886 Winchester rifle in 45/70 was probably one of the very best American rifles ever made. I think this rifle could have serve in military applications as well. You have to wonder why the U.S. Army didn't adopt the 1886 Winchester as a service rifle. It would have worked well for many decades. It was a good enough rifle design to be evolved into just about anything the U.S. military would have needed.
I've heard so many good things about the 1886, like the prominent youtuber hickok45 says it might be his favorite gun of all time.
I heard the reason why the military didn't pick them up was because they were viewing bolt actions as more reliable and easier to use from a prone position which was becoming more common in warfare at that time.
I wonder if anyone will make a 150 year anniversary edition in 2036 of the 1886 like they did with the 1873 last year.
Coz I was born in 1986 and will turn 50 in 2036 so it'd make a pretty cool 50th present lol
Open sights, 100 yards...amazing shooting!
I'll watch any video with 45-70's. Gotta love a good thumper!!
This is one of the best channels on TH-cam. Particularly interesting for history buffs. Warmest congratulations!
i agree compleatly what a great channel he has
It is
Love the enthusiasm!.... Your approach to the 100m target was great... :-)
Ohh, nice to see you here, isn't it?
That is a fantastically beautiful rifle!!! That sort of accuracy at 100m with open sights is nothing to sneeze at.
I purchased a stainless steel Gide Gun in France a few months ago. It shoots just like yours at 50 and 100 m range.
It’s fantastic, it does better than some other riffles with scopes. My favorite rifle next to a couple 44 mags and a 9422 Winchester.
45-70 caliber is the only government I trust, specially from Pedersoli
Lovely rifle and congratulations on your recent 100k subscribers, your enthusiasm is infectious, greetings from Australia
not sure what is better...the 100m group... or your enthusiasm! Great gun, great vid. One of my favorite TH-cam channels.
I really like 45/70 Govt. weapons. And this is a particularly nice example.
Factory loads generally don't shoot as tight as hand loads. I have a 500 grain bullet that come from a mold I had custom made and it gives me 2" groups at 200 yards with my Pedersoli Sharps Boss gun fitted with mid range Kelly soul target sights. This Pedersoli repro is awesome. You are one lucky guy. You do what I have always dreamed of. I'm too old now, but I love guns and especially "Historical" firearms such as those of yesteryear.
Mr. Balazs, you are correct, your 100 yd. group looks like one from my scoped 30'06 at 100 yds. with 180 grain bullets. Great group, beautiful rifle. I know it will be a little on the "pricey" side, but well worth the price. Thank-you, Dante.
This rifle is absolutely one of the best looking, best shooting '86's available. Thanks Pedersoli.
Great review and beautiful rifle! Personally in the strong action lever guns I've always been partial to the Marlin actions over the 92 and 86 Winchesters! But as usual Pedersoli blows it out of the park with a beautiful repo!
Shooting like Tom Horn! Good job. Especially for out-of-the-box accuracy.
Late to the party but your enthusiasm was evident and I agree, this rifle is heirloom quality.
I get the distinct impression that you really, really like this rifle. haha And, why shouldn't you; gorgeous and highly accurate. As you say, what more could you ask for. Great video depicting it also, bye the way.
After the first shot, that grin stayed on your face for the rest of the video. 8-)
As a hunter, black powder guy, historical firearms enthusiast and an American whose ancestors emigrated from the Kuk who still continues our hunting traditions, thank you sir! I hope to take a Pedersoli rifle in the woods with me one day. Weidmannsheil! Please continue!
I get similar results from my Winchester 1886.... same model.... 26" BBL and tube. I also hand load my 45-70. LUV THIS RIFLE
Love saying I now have pedersoli sporting rifle and it is everything you showed I waited many years and it was worth it thank you cap&ball for introduce ing me to this wonderful gun that completely outshines my miruki Winchester god bless you and your family and Dr David pedersoli
Great video. You are clearly the happiest guy on TH-cam. Great video, informative and enjoyable, but it just made us happy watching you be so happy. Keep up the great work!
Beautiful rifle and excellent marksmanship Sir!
I love this! You're like a kid on Christmas morning! Excellent shooting as well as an excellent rifle.
Incredible - in a positive sense - I believe the group
You're right to look so pleased! Accurate shooting, open sights prove themselves again!
Sir your videos are the best. I ha e learned a lot. not only about black powder but the history. Thank you. please keep making videos. I have purchased a pedersoli Hawkin. And learning. Thank you sir.
Fantastic shooting cowboy, very nice video, totally jealous of the rifle! Rock on bro - glad to hear you are loading your own ammo!
Always enjoy your shooting videos!
That is a great group too.
Congratulations on your new rifle and your reloads which produced some impressive 100m results!
I have a 50/95 rifle fell in love with it. Good hunting.
What model and make
Outstanding shooting and beautiful rifle!
Thanks for posting this, love the enthusiasm!
Uplifting review. Love the 45/70. Thank you
Really enjoyed just now seeing this video. I was salivating to have one of these Pedersoli 1886 models. So very handsome a rifle!
Great video...I have to get a Pedersoli 45-70 now
What a beautiful rifle and an awesome shooting performed by you!
Impressive group Sir, and I love the rifle
hfef
Glad you like your new acquisition! Have fun shooting and hunting with it.
Great review! Pedersoli is the epitome of the 1886. I own two Uberti 1873’s 45 long colt and the 44-40 and the Italian craftsmanship is unsurpassed in my opinion. They are such a pleasant shooting experience. I’m can’t wait to add the 1886 to my collection but very very hard to find them in the U.S.
I certainly love my Pedersoli 1886 deluxe rifle w/26" barrel. I also purchased a Marlin Guide Gun, stainless w/ red dot & ghost ring sights. One rifle i drag through the muck and the other is for finer work.
Nice shooting brother! Great video.
you look strait out of a western movie, really cool man. Love how you put the effort in to dress up for these videos. Keep it up
you made me buy it and I'm HAPPY! 😉
Hunting and shooting Natives. That cartridge was what made the Indian Wars roar.
very very beautiful rifle... i am just now putting a Leupold scope on my new Marlin 1895 GS... 45-70 is a very special club... i’m very happy to have found your channel. best wishes from San Diego! ciao:)
sir we seem to have very similar taste in firearms i have enjoyed every single video i have seen so far on your channel and i have been slightly binge waching your uploads over the last two days you now have a new subscriber well two infact as my father has subbed aswell keep up the good work 😀😀😁
I have one and I get pretty great accuracy like you did . I shoot Orange shotgun target clays off a berm no problem at 100 yards. That was some outstanding shooting you did at 100 meters. Great Job! Incredible group! I reload my own cartridges as well. Makes it a lot more satisfying when you get accuracy like that!
Great video....very nice rifle too.
You're an excellent shot, Sir! No wonder you're winning medals!
That accuracy was incredible
Thanks for the nise Demo! Today i order this Rifle in my Gunstore... Viva Petersoli 🤠
My goodness, that rifle is so accurate it is almost boring. where will you go from there. It's almost a 1 MOA rifle. Many new bolt actions wish they could shoot like that. Great reloading on your part, and one great rifle. My envy knows no bounds.
What a great place to shoot, love it! nice rifle too.
She’s the whole package. Looks and performance.
I always enjoy your videos.. You definitely have the "Cowboy" heart. I also have several 45-70 Lever rifles as well as other calibers. Have the new stuff to but love the Old West lever and revolvers..
Beautiful rifle. Great shooting!!
very nice shooting rifle! it was great to your excitement over its accuracy. congrats my friend and the videos get better and better!
thank you for sharing this with us!
Pedersoli un orgoglio italiano !!
Great video as always. I really like your camera shots and editing, sure beats a dude sitting in his garage with a camera pointed at his work bench lol!
Excellent accuracy especially with those sights.
Most excellent Sir! Beautiful rifle and the accuracy is outstanding which makes me want one but, with my old eyes I would not be able to shoot as well as you.😀 Keep making these great videos, love your enthusiasm!
It looks like the rifle was sighted in for 100 meters before it got packed into the box. Your groups were excellent at both 50 and 100 meters. Nice shooting of a very nice rifle. Thanks for reviewing it!
very nice shooting and reloading. they really smooth out after 126 years.
Great shooting and beautiful rifle. I also have a 1 of 3000, 1886, Gold inlay, hand engraved, I shot 12 rounds thru it and it does shoot extremely well. I also have the 1873, 1892 and the 1894. I love them all.
If only I could be as excited in my videos .lol. Great shooting. Most people swear you cant get that good of accuracy with a lever gun.
like I've already commented elsewhere in this video I saw my uncle shoot one half a mile away with a model 94 in 32 Winchester special. he hit the buck in the neck at the base
Half mile ? sure...
+Rickey Ryan you mean to say you do not believe me? one thing to consider is even with rifled muskets I've heard of people getting shot at between four to six hundred yards with them maybe not consistently or even with a lot of power but that's rifled musket now with a lever action rifle was smokeless powder that's definitely possible especially if somebody's used the same combination of ammunition and rifle for about 25 to 30 years. otherwise let's think about this at a thousand yards people are able to score hits with an M14 with open sights. maybe not Bullseye accuracy but still they're able to hit man sized targets at a thousand and I've even heard of Russian bolt-action hitting at seven to nine hundred yards with open sights.... but then again that's something that's sacred to me as hunting on a cultural level especially. have a good day sir
I've seen a guy here on youtube using a Mosin Nagant shooting his own hand loaded rounds hitting a 12-18" target at 1000 yards time after time. In the trenches of the first world war when the Americans eventually joined there was a group of excellent marksmen picking off German troops at 1 mile plus with their Springfield rifles over open sights. The poor Germans would see a friend drop down dead and hear the shot ring out afterwards as the sound caught up to the bullet.
Some people will always scoff at such tales, most probably they think because they can't do it, no one can.

Great video, amazing accuracy
Your love of the sport is easy to see
great video as always
Amazing shooting - both from the gun and you!
I know right? Outstanding groups. That 100 yard group with 45-70 over open sights is a wall hanger.
No its not Wall hanger it is a shooter..
mlshooter He means the target , not the rifle.
wow yea, That's a fantastic rifle!
Beautiful rifle ... very good video, again! Thank you
That rifle looks and sounds awesome
Enjoyed your video, right to the point and no bullshit, thanks.
Beautiful firearm. I'm jealous 😏
Good shooting
congrats on your beautiful new rifle
That is the perfect configuration! Now to save my pennies...
Fantastic shooting and sweet fire stick.
One of my first rifles was a Springfield Trapdoor 1884 - 45/70 that got me hooked on 45/70 I still have that rifle also a carbine. The 45/70 is a good cartridge a lot of good reloading choices..My main use is a Ruger No. 1
Great video, gorgeous rifle!
Amazing shots and beautiful beautiful rifle
Good to know you found a great load with a 350 grain projectile. I've always thought that weight would produce favorable results in the 45-70. The only thing I would want differently on that rifle is a shorter magazine ammo tube to save a bit of weight. Yet, I'd keep the 26 inch barrel for velocity and accuracy. And probably a recoil pad and a tang sight.
Someone, somewhere in Hungary is having a real blast today. Nice shooting!
Great shooting! Nice rifle.
Great rifle, great cartridge and great shooting! It makes you wonder if modern rifles offer much more at "fair chase" hunting ranges.
Awesome! If this rifle shoots this well with buckhorn sight I can imagine truly amazing accuracy with a vernier Tang sight. I'm planning on buying one and setting it up with the vernier tang sight. Thank you I appreciate your time.
Congratz on the new rifle. may many boars be your part. Happy Hunting
