I've had both the Pedersoli 12 and 10 gauge and have also owned a couple of Navy Arms shotguns. I currently only have the Pedersoli 12 and consider it a fine shotgun. The one I have does have the screw in chokes which do seem a bit out of place. I've shot lots of ducks and geese at my North Dakota farm with this shotgun. The 10 gauge never really fit me and always seemed to bruise my cheek, so I ended up getting rid of it. The 12 has never been a problem for me in this respect. As far as fit and finish goes, there is no comparison between it and the three original (all English) percussion shotguns I own, but it is still a fine shooter.
