Like most people, we cause most of our own troubles !
 
First we invited all BPCR shooters to take their valuable time and send us their desires in a match grade HighWall to be made by Pedersoli and having our super accurate barrel.

Thanks for your input.  The production rifle has the requested shotgun butt, pistol grip, no tang sight and only a blade up front (you wanted to install your own choice in sights). Hand checkering very nicely done, pistol grip butt stock, single set trigger, hex barrel.  The 38-55 has a fast twist 12;1 rifling plus a long chamber 2.130" to hold more powder (Starline makes the long cases). The 45-70 is 18:1 twist rifling and the 45-90 is not yet offered.

So we expected to be supplying dealers at the end of 2007 and the best we could do was show three samples at the January 08 Shot Show and promise delivery  at mid year.

Dealers held back ordering.  Plenty of time until mid year....huh?

We had equipment set up problems which I won't go into because they are common with all firearms makers but the end result is that we are just now shipping the FIRST rifles and guess what..........???  Only Cherry's Fine Guns actually placed an order with us and will have stock as soon as the shipment arrives  by plane and is cleared through customs etc. etc.
 
Our long time larger dealers like Dixie Gunworks, Cabela's, EMF, Flintlock Etc, Cimarron and others, have NOT ordered the High Wall so they won't have any to display or sell.

The current  gas prices, recession worries etc. etc. have caused these prudent business people to hold back on ordering this new target grade rifle which so many shooters were looking for late in 2007 (in time for the 2008 shooting season).
 
Sales efforts by Pedersoli have not produced orders because the buyers have seen no 2008 interest from the thousands of shooters who "were once interested."
 
This message is a request for shooters to phone , email or write to these big dealers direct to their "gun buyers" not just a call to some order taker.    If they receive a fair number of such requests we can expect them to place orders and get some High Walls in stock.

It is in your hands and anything you can do will be appreciated.
