pedersoli droptine 86/71 30-30. $TBD

Haven't seen this in the flesh, and no word on price yet, but it promises to possess the full package of desirable levergun attributes in a fast reviving genre. This description below from the Pedersoli WEBSITE:

Introducing the PEDERSOLI 86/71 LEVER ACTION DROPTINE MODEL, a harmonious blend of nostalgia, aesthetics, and modern functionality. The elusive and rare drop tine deer is the result of abnormal antler growth, characterized by the downward development of one or more tines on either or both left and right racks of antlers. Typical of extremely long-lived animals, drop tines are attributed with shrewdness and cunning and the ability to escape the aim of predators and hunters alike.

The new 86/71 Droptine Lever Action Rifle with tubular magazine, is smooth and fast, thanks to the solid steel CNC machined lever and receiver. Available in the long-lived 30-30 Winchester caliber, coming down to us from a glorious past, it continues to be relevant today. It has been revised in this modern version, thanks to the excellent restyling by the main commercial ammunition manufacturers and consumer demand.

This model is characterized using innovative components and materials, as well as an affordable price. We are proud to include this famous caliber in the Boarbuster line, having developed a specific version featuring the elegant stock/forend tobacco color and matte black metal parts.

The PMG barrel, threaded 5/8”x24UNF at the muzzle is equipped with fiber optic front sight and the Picatinny base with integrated rear sight. After much research and development, we have engineered a special loading lever that is both ergonomic and large enough, to enable ease of loading while wearing protective gloves or comfortable enough with bare hands.

Equipped with a Microcell butt pad for higher absorption recoil than typical rubber pad, the innovative techno-polymer stock has both vertical and horizontal adjustments.

We have developed a particular Picatinny base, to be mounted to the left side of the receiver. This accommodation helps overcome the limitations on the use of normal scopes, due to the mechanical characteristics of the 1886 model. The offset, compared to the central axis of the barrel, is 4 cm, enough to equip the gun with most of the optics on the market, while still guaranteeing effective extraction of the cartridge case from the upper part of the action frame.
