Hi Duesouth!
I have looked the Taylor over pretty close, but never fired them. I believe they are made by IAB, in Italy. The prices sure look reasonable. I saw one in Oklahoma City, when I was visiting my brother, at a place called Outdoor America, and they were just over $600 for a standard model in .45-70, or .38-55
If I was a resident, I'd have taken it home with me!
