Pedersoli introduces<br />
shrewd new release<br />
Italian gunmaker David Pedersoli prides itself on producing historically accurate and<br />
technically high-performing guns. Here, the company introduces the 86/71 Drop Tine lever<br />
Action Rifle.<br />
The new 86/71 Drop Tine Lever<br />
Action Rifle with tubular magazine<br />
is smooth and fast, thanks to the<br />
solid steel CNC machined lever and<br />
receiver. Available in the long-lived 30-30<br />
Winchester calibre, coming down to us<br />
from a glorious past, it continues to be<br />
relevant today. It has been revised in this<br />
modern version, thanks to the excellent<br />
restyling by the main commercial<br />
ammunition manufacturers and consumer<br />
demand. This model is characterized<br />
using innovative components and<br />
materials, as well as an affordable price.<br />
The name of the rifle comes from<br />
the elusive and rare drop tine deer,<br />
which exhibits abnormal antler<br />
growth, characterised by the downward<br />
development of one or more tines on<br />
either or both left and right racks of<br />
antlers. Typical of extremely long-lived<br />
animals, drop tines are attributed with<br />
shrewdness and cunning and the ability to<br />
escape the aim of predators and hunters<br />
alike.<br />
Davide Pedersoli is proud to include<br />
this famous calibre in the Boarbuster<br />
line, having developed a specific version<br />
featuring the elegant stock/forend tobacco<br />
colour and matte black metal parts.<br />
The PMG barrel, threaded<br />
5/8”x24UNF at the muzzle is equipped<br />
with fibre optic front sight and the<br />
Picatinny base with integrated rear sight.<br />
“After much research and development,<br />
we have engineered a special loading lever<br />
that is both ergonomic and large enough,<br />
to enables ease of loading while wearing<br />
protective gloves or comfortable enough<br />
with bare hands,” says Stefano Pedersoli<br />
Equipped with a Microcell butt pad<br />
for higher absorption recoil than typical<br />
rubber pad, the innovative technopolymer<br />
stock has both vertical and<br />
horizontal adjustments.<br />
About<br />
Since Davide Pedersoli celebrated its<br />
first birthday in the spring of 1958, more<br />
than sixty years have passed and the<br />
recurring records and the large number of<br />
medals won in various international sport<br />
competitions, testify to the perfection<br />
and ballistic precision of Pedersoli guns,<br />
features that make them popular among<br />
target shooters and hunters worldwide.<br />
Davide Pedersoli has always distinguished<br />
itself by its historical research of the<br />
guns to reproduce, to identify some of<br />
the most important steps in the gun<br />
manufacturing tradition of eighteenth<br />
and nineteenth centuries European and<br />
American firearms. A rewarding choice<br />
that has allowed the company to relive<br />
epic creations and, with the passage<br />
of time, believe in a real lifestyle and<br />
promote every aspect of it. The company<br />
has also developed a strong bond with<br />
“re-enactment” groups, an area in which<br />
scholars and collectors always show the<br />
utmost attention to detail and to the<br />
faithful historical reproduction of various<br />
models.<br />
