JACKJR60, this is a new one to me. It looks pretty good and resembles the Knight Revolution. I bet the Knight costs more though. ;D I also think the 1 in 24 twist is better than the "standard" 1 in 28 so many have been using. Savage (can I say that here ;D) uses the 1 in 24 twist to.

Doug, the Denali has been around for almost two years I believe. They had quite a few start up problems that took some time to get fixed. I think Randy Wakeman and maybe Underclocked have possibly seen one in the flesh.

No, I've not seen one yet. Seems the Denali has undergone some significant changes even before it hit the streets.

That looks different to my eyes compared to the one pictured at www.huntersfriend.com/guns.htm . A bit of price disparity as well

[JACKJR60]

UC, you also noticed that little price increase, huh??

Musta been some pretty expensive modifications

Hi Jack,

I'm a fountain of misinformation on this one. The "Dernali" was to be USA produced, and was scheduled to be released last year. The basis for its design is a Beretta single shot trap gun.

There was a series of production problems, and the "last straw" was a mismachined action that happened too late in the game for 2003 release. All dealer orders were subsequently canceled last year. A pity for Mid-West, as that gave CVA a one year free past in the rejuvenated break action market, one that looks increasingly crowded this year.

Along the way, there was a joint venture with Kahnke, where Pedersoli was to produce Godon Kahnke's rifles. I was advised that this agreement fell through.

So, all I know at the present is I don't know-- I've not seen or tested one to date.
