Pedersoli Back Action Rifle in percussion

[Crawfish]

Hello,
I have been absent for a while as life got in the way. Anyway, I have a question, and hope some of you can answer them.
this Rifle was purchased about 1985 ish, and never shot much.
it is a Pedersoli with a back action lock In percussion. .54 caliber, walnut stock. The barrel is just under 32” long. It looks like a Hawken rifle. I shot it the other day and it is fairly accurate, allowing for horrible buckhorn sights. I’m certain with better sights, it would be very accurate. Does anyone know the model name of this rifle?
it’s very nice looking, with case hardened hardware.
I have found nothing like it on the Pedersoli web site except the Tryon target rifle. That one is a .45 caliber.
any info would be appreciated.

Pedersoli made the Tryon in 45, 50 & 54 calibers, and a deluxe version with German silver hardware and lock engraving. Yours is a fine rifle and should give you years of service.

It is indeed a Tryon. Several versions were made, all built on the base model like yours. Mine is german silver mounted in .45. They are uncommon on the used market, and run about 50% or more above the used price of a T/C Hawken in top condition.

Thank you very much guys! I will pursue improving the sights As fast as I can. I will go with a peep sight as our club does not forbid their use.

I have been poring over sights. I put a Lyman peep on my kit built Hawken, and it works very well. However, I am not sold on the way it looks. Anyone have any recommendations on a tang mounted sight that would work? Also, if anyone knows the twist, it would be appreciated. .45 Tyron is 1/44 I think.
