Pedorsoli Kodiak Express Rifle
« on: February 02, 2010, 03:14:07 PM »
I happened upon one of these used in 54 cal this week. I cannot wait until I have spare time to shoot it.
For all my guns I like to have the manual that comes with the new gun but this rifle came without. Does any one here have a copy?
Thanks

If you will go to Pedersoli's website, (Google it), they have a contact line.  I did this on a rolling block I have, and they emailed me a manual for free.  Nice folks.

To me the rifle feels lighter than it looks.
Don't have a scale to get real numbers

Here you go :)

Kodiak Express Standard
Percussion

In the 19th century the muzzle loading double barrel rifle was the gun for hunting in the wide African and India’s regions. With our Kodiak today, we keep the dream alive for many hunters. Our double express rifle has blued barrels, engraved locks, adjustable rear sight, walnut stock with cheek piece and a small German silver plate to complete with the initials. The Kodiak is used with success during the hunting sessions in Africa and in America and it is considered by the muzzle loading hunters the ideal rifle with its reliable and quick second shot. It is available in various calibers and also in the Kombo version: one rifled barrel and one smooth barrel 12 gauge. On request it can be manufactured with interchangeable 12 gauge barrels. Barrel length 28 9/16". Weight 11.24 lbs. (.50) 10.58 lbs. (.54) 9.92 lbs. (.58)


Looks like 10.58 pounds.

I have one of these doubles in .72, and it's a GREAT shooter, but really likes powder!

"But it really likes powder"? Wouldn't that be expected? In fact, wouldn't that be the whole point of a .72 caliber? ;D

That was meant somewhat sarcastically. Excessive use of powder is not a problem. My 6pdr gets charges measured by the ounce, so no biggie with the .72
