Pedersoli builds the 1886/71 Boarbuster Evolution for Taylors and Company, and it shows in the fit and finish. This is the classic 1886 action reworked for the hog woods and deer stands of today. The receiver wears a grey Cerakote finish that stands up to rain, sweat, and truck rides, and the walnut stock gets a silicone coating so you keep the warmth of real wood without babying it. At 37.44 inches overall with a 19 inch barrel, it swings fast in thick cover and rides easy in a blind or on an ATV.
The .45-70 Government chambering is the whole point here. Big, heavy bullets that put game down with authority, whether that means feral hogs, whitetail, black bear, or elk at woods ranges. The 1:18 twist stabilizes the heavy stuff well, and with 5+1 on tap you have follow-up shots ready if a sounder scatters. The oversized loop lever cycles smoothly even with gloves on, and the tang safety stays out of your way until you need it.
Out of the box you get a fiber optic front sight paired with an integrated rail-mounted peep rear, which is a genuinely useful setup for fast shooting in low light at the edges of legal hours. The receiver is also drilled and tapped, so adding a scout scope or red dot is a straightforward job if your eyes prefer glass. Either way, this rifle is set up to hit what you point it at in a hurry.
At 8.15 pounds the Boarbuster Evolution carries enough heft to soak up .45-70 recoil, and the rubber buttpad helps take the sting out of stout loads. It has the balance and pointability that made the original 1886 famous, just dressed for modern field duty. If you want one lever gun that handles the nasty weather and the big-bodied game, this one belongs on your short list.
This rifle is manufactured in Italy by Davide Pedersoli and imported by Taylors and Company. Pedersoli has a strong reputation for quality lever guns and reproduction rifles, and their 1886/71 pattern is the foundation for the whole Boarbuster line. Fit, finish, and action smoothness reflect that pedigree.
Yes. The receiver comes drilled and tapped from the factory, so you can add optics without a trip to the gunsmith. The rear peep sight sits on an integrated rail, and plenty of owners run a scout scope or a red dot for fast shots on moving hogs. The factory peep and fiber optic front setup works great on its own too.
At 8.15 pounds, the Boarbuster Evolution has enough weight to tame standard .45-70 loads, and the rubber buttpad helps with the heavier stuff. Recoil is stout but more of a push than a snap, and most folks shoot it comfortably. If you plan on high-pressure hunting loads, expect a firm shove but nothing punishing.
The Evolution pairs a grey Cerakote receiver with a silicone-coated walnut stock, giving you real wood with weatherproof protection. The Mark II uses a rubberized walnut stock with an adjustable cheekpiece and tan Cerakote, while the standard Boarbuster wears black Cerakote with a camo-coated stock. All share the same 19 inch barrel, 5+1 capacity, and Pedersoli 1886/71 action.
