I am just a little curious about these rifles.

Here they are very cheap,(Davide Pedersoli) but I am curious to ehar just how accurate they can be, they offer "sniper" and "long range" models...

Sorry mate, could you please explain what "BPCR" is?
What does it come to in terms if MOA?
Which is an accurate model Pedersoli makes?

I'm looking at the 1874 Sharps Quigley Sporting in .45-70, among others.

BPCR is Black Powder Cartridge Rife and is a competition big in the States using rifles or replicas of rifles of yesteryear for long range silhouette shooting. MOA, IIRC, with black powder is often in the 1.5 to 2 MOA range. Of course, unless this rifle is BP only, which I don't think the Ped. is, then you can shoot smokeless loads also. Accuracy is probably about the same, as the boys at the BP shoots can really tweek the accuracy out of those rifles, black powder or not.

Here's a good link for info about BPCR: http://www.bpcr.net/

I have the Pedersoli Silhouette model and it is quite accurate. One can shoot factory smokeless loads in the Remington class, but these rifles really shine with blackpowder.

When I'm on my game 1" groups at 100 yds are do-able. It is a real challenge to handload accurate blackpowder loads; much more so ( I think) than smokeless loads.

Pedersoli makes the only good quality reproduction outside of the states, I believe.
