That gun would ONLY sell well in the US.
Europeans are not great levergun fans for hunting uses & don't have the orange requirements for hunting that states impose here.
I was promised a test sample last Fall, was told the import licensing would take a couple months, assumed the guns were going forward, then found on 5-11 they had not even started the licensing process.

Got my Pedersoli Premium grade for slightly over $1100.
There was a little superficial rust on the barrel (nothing in the bore, under the for-end or in the guts of the gun).
That's why it went cheap.
The deal of a lifetime.
For a $600 discount I rolled up my sleeves and got rid of the little patch of superficial rust (it was just starting) and applied a little dab of touch-up bluing.
Gun looks and shoots like a dream.
