Discover the Pedersoli Gibbs percussion rifle in .451 caliber - the perfect long gun even at over 1000 yards.

Replica of one of the most famous rifles from the era of precision shooting in the second half of the 19th century, an original made around 1865 by the English gunsmith George Gibbs (1813-1884).
In 1865, Sir Henry Halford won the Cambridge Cup match with a rifle from George Gibbs' workshop. 15 shots were fired over two days at 1,000 and 1,100 yards. The London Times of June 15, 1865 wrote the following about the rifle: 'The weapon with which the prize was won will, it is said, attract quite a stir among those interested in small-bore and long-range shooting, as it is based on entirely new principles.' The Times was right, because in collaboration with William Ellis Metford and John Farquharson, innovative weapons were created, especially for long-range shooting and hunting.
In 1865, the NRA initiated the first of two competitions held at the extreme distance of 2000 yards. The rifle designed by William Metford and manufactured by George Gibbs was the only successful one.

This replica is ideal for the demanding 100-meter shooter, but also for longer distances (see successes below). The rifled barrel in .451 caliber with 6 grooves, which changes from octagonal to round, is blued.
The stock is made of selected walnut wood with a first-class grain and features finely cut checkering on the forearm and pistol grip. An oil finish completes the elegant look. The ends are made of steel butt caps. The pistol grip allows for a comfortable hold and very good balance.
The weapon comes with a high-quality Creedmoor diopter that is 3 inches (approx. 76mm) adjustable in height and has double windage adjustment. The adjustable tunnel front sight has a bubble level.

The lock and fittings are color hardened.
