I am the first...
In my little country to get one of these. Uberti 1883 Burgess in 45 Colt. I havent had the time to shoot it yet, but its the first rifle ever, that I dont want to take apart, to slick up the action. Both action and trigger are smooth as butter. What do You think?

Re: I am the first...
I keep looking at these Burgess copies. Picked one up at the NRA Annual Meeting exhibit to handle it for a minute but it isn't in .44 WCF... yet.

Mighty handsome rifle!
I hope it shoots even better than it looks.

Re: I am the first...
I think I want one of those. And I don't care if it's in 45 Clot or 44-40.
Those are really nice looking lever guns.

Gongrats ! - I'm sure you'll be the envy of all your fellow levergunners, over there !
Remember that, although new, internally it's really an 1873 Winchester, so please refrain from putting strenuous loads, that a Model 92 would easily digest, through it.
I LOVE those case colors !

May your rifle always shoot straight, your mag never run dry, you always have one more round than you have adversaries, and your good mate always be there to watch your back.
Because I can!

Re: I am the first...
Hobie, Taylor's will take an order for a Burgess in .44-40, they advised it was available, but the waiting list is 60-70 days. You can reserve one by e-mail.

Re: I am the first...
That is a beautiful little rifle. I'm glad they're making repros of some of these old guns. Please keep us informed as to how it shoots and handles.
