I am looking at getting into this and have been looking at some ofthe available rifles.

Has anybody had experience with the Perdesolli reproductions vs the Uberti or origional makers ie: sharps etc.
 
I have a 45/70 Pedersoli and my buddy has a 45/90 Pedersoli and both of us are very happy with these rifles. The fit, finish and overall workmanship of these rifles is very good. There are several companies in Canada that sell these rifles.
 
In Saskatchewan most BPCR shootes are using Shilo Sharps or C. Sharps. A few of us are using original rolling block actions with new barrels and stocks. There are a few Pedersoli type guns as well. When this sport first started here, there were more Pedersolis being used. A lot of shooters graduated to C. Sharps and for a while they dominated. A considerable number of serious shooters now have all changed to Shilo Sharps. Most shooters started out with 45-70 calibres as this is the most common and generally fairly versatile. 40-65 were the next rage and there still are a lot of them being used. Some of the serious shooters (some who also may be into long range) have gone back to 45-70 and 45-90. There are a few 38 cals now showing up but have yet to be proven winners.
 
Not an expert. Happy with the Pedersoli, most BPCR shooters I have spoken to go with as above, Sharps. I got the Pedersoli Springfield Trapdoor (Why be normal) and very happy, have noted on BPCR site a number of long distance shoots won with the Springfield. If you want cheap there is the H&R 1871 Buffalo works well at 100yards, Williams sights not easily adjustable as a Long Range Creedmoor.
