Description:
PRICE REDUCED! SUPERB KODIAK MARK IV 45/70 DOUBLE RIFLE
A Faithful Reproduction Of The Famous “Colt Double” Breech Loading Double Rifle Produced In The 19th Century, Using Much Stronger Modern Steels To Handle Greater Pressures. Made In Italy By Pedersoli, One Of The Finest Firearms Manufactures.
Unlike Lever Action Firearms That Are Generally Restricted For Safety Reasons To Shoot Flat Point Bullets With Inferior Ballistic Qualities, The Kodiak Mark IV Can Shoot A Wide Variety Of Spitzer And Spire Point Bullets Of Various Weights With Much Higher Ballistic Coefficients, Resulting In Greater Retained Energy And Flatter Trajectory Over Longer Distances. This Allows The Hunter To Adapt To Changing Conditions Or Game By Carrying Different Loads With Different Bullet Weights And Velocities On The Same Hunt. Also, A Second Shot Is Immediately Available Without Reloading.
The Dual Foldable Leaf Sights On The Barrel Rib Are Individually Adjustable For Windage/Elevation And Regulated At 100 Yards. It Is Also Very Accurate Out To 200 Yards By Adjusting The Sights. Essentially, The Kodiak Mark IV Has Two Separate, Individually Adjustable Barrels, Rather Than Standard Doubles Where Both Barrels Are Regulated For Only One Specific Caliber, Load And Bullet Weight.
If The Hunter Loses His Ammunition, The Hunter With A Standard Double Could Easily Be Out Of The Hunt Since Finding The Specific Caliber, Load And Bullet Weight Could Be Impossible. The Kodiak Mark IV Can Use Any Available 45/70 Load Stocked Worldwide. Best Of all, You're Back In The Hunt!
The Kodiak Mark IV Easily Handles Heavy Garret, Buffalo Bore, Corbon And Grizzly Loads Up To 540 Grains With No Signs Of Excess Pressure. Most Popular 45/70 Lever Action Rifles Cannot Chamber Such Long Rounds, Limiting Ammunition Selection. These Heavy Loads Are Choronographed At The Low End Of .458 Win. Magnum Energies. Recently, Randy Garrett of Garrett Bullets Wrote, " ...anyone who takes the time to run comparative penetration tests will find that those of us who pack a good 45-70 with heavy bullets need not take a back seat to any other 458 caliber, especially when the game is heavy and the penetration requirements are great."
However, Some Hunters Who Demand Even More Power Are Inexpensively Rechambering The Kodiak Mark IV To 458 RCBS, 45/90, 45/100, 45/120 And 450 Nitro Expres. Barrels Can Be Rechambered/Barrel-Bored to 470 Nitro Express, Essentially Making The Kodiak Mark IV A Poor Man’s Double Capable Of Easily Taking Elephant On Down (Check With Your Gunsmith). Obviously, With The Right 45/70 Ammunition, The Kodiak Mark IV Can Also Take All North American And African Plains Game.
The Barrels Are Industrially Matt, Hard Chrome Plated (Not Cosmetic Plated) To Reduce Corrosion And Heat Transfer From The Hot Sun (I Learned Firsthand About Corrosion During A Rainy Season Hunt With Blued Guns, And The Pain Of Grabbing A Blued Steel Barrel In 115-Degree Heat!).
This Kodiak Mark IV Double Was Originally Purchased For Another African Safari For Cape Buffalo And Plains Game That Never Happened Due To Auto Accident. I Have Successfully Hunted Elephant And Would Not Hesitate To Do So Again With This Gun And Heavy Solid Bullets.
