As some know I've been looking into BP historical replicas. I've found a shop in Germany that may also be able to supply me with a ML rifle. One is a Pedersoli made Hawken rifle, .54 cal, €500. The other is an Ardesa made "ranger rifle", €229.
I know that people rate Pedersoli but are they so good that I should ignore the Ardesa at over half the price?
NB: I have seen online that Ardesa are sold in the US under the trade name of "Traditions" firearms.
Also does Pedersoli have perhaps better after-sales care or spares such as the 209 cap converter?
It is also worth noting that the Ardesa is .45 cal which is much easier to source lead projectiles for.
