This a darned good price for a sweet gun. If i was looking for one this would be it. Good luck.

I'm just curious how to use the meter to figure out the gauge; I have a 10 gauge pedersoli, and I would love to figure out what the chokes are.

Thanks Rebel. I too was wondering why no one seems to be interested in this shotgun. I guess its one of life's mysteries.

What sells is always a mystery. I have pm-ed regarding possible trade. Any interest?

Weigh the gun using your bathroom scale and yourself. Do it a few times. It looks like one of the under-6 pound older guns vs the newer ~8 pounders. If so, this is highly desirable. I have this gun and it’s not for sale. Your price is very fair. Perhaps the date code as well.

THIS...

The under 6-pound guns are special indeed and to me, much more desirable.

 

[Penske]

Thanks,
But not interested in trades at this time.

I have seen competitors use these well at trap at the nationals at Friendship.

I have one of those made in 1988. The comparison discussion about 6 lb verses 8lb guns made me wonder what I have, so I just weighed it.

7 lbs 2 oz without the ramrod. So, mine would be a “Tweener”, I reckon.

 

[Sparkitoff]

Older Pedersoli's weigh 5#-12oz to 6-pounds. Newer versions weigh 7#-2oz to 7#-6oz. That's in 12-gauge. The 20-gauge regardless of vintage seems to weigh 7#-4oz. There's a Old English version that is advertised to be 6#-8oz with "lighter weight barrels" but I have never seen one that did not weigh the usual 7#2-7#6. I've handled dozens, own 5 and have trade/sold 2 in my quest to make a composed pair of each. (Not familiar with the 10-gauge to state averages). Regardless of weight, Penske seems to have a good condition gun with a very reasonable price. Very tempting but like I said I have 2 of each weight vintage and a spare at the moment. With bird season rapidly approaching, someone will surely snatch this up soon. I keep trying to justify a trio.....

The Cabela screw-in choke version comes in around 8. Yours would be about right for the standard version.

i have an old 10 gauge, just under 7 pounds, cylinder cylinder. I'll mic it later today which will give you some sort of starting point.

It's not quantified data, but, you can learn a lot by screwing a 10 gauge wad onto the end of a ramrod, and pushing it evenly through the choke to see how much it eases up after reaching the bore. If you can't feel the change pretty clearly, it's all but certainly cylinder.

My 10 gauge Cyl-Cyl Pedersoli (from 1981) mics very close to .77 inches, both barrels
