Saw one of these in 45-70 at local store. Any body have any experience with these reproductions? Are they a good quality action? Seemed pretty nice to me.
I did think it was pretty front heavy with the long octagon barrel.

Rifleshootermag has a couple reviews of the Uberti in the long barrel and carbine versions. Both are quite positive...
I owned a Higwhall in 45/700 and one in 40/65, and a friend has a really nice long range rifle in 45/70.
They are well built rifles and accurate.
No,, they are not an MVA, C Sharps or an original Winchester, but they are capable of shooting just as well.
But what do I know, II shoot Savage rifles as well.

WAITAMINIT??!! YOU had this commissioned by Uberti??
I was not aware of that!
However, to buy one II would have to run into a REALLY good deal, I'm a senior on a fixed income dontchaknow!!

This guy is great!! I agree 100%, rifles, especially ones like that, really should have irons on them. Making it law would be fine with me.
There is a Winchester 1885 in 6.5x55 Swede online I really would be interested in, but it has no irons.
That one in the video looks like a really nice gun.

That's something I forgot to mention. I was surprised that my Uberti 45/70 had less recoil than my 30-30 28" lever. Has to be that long heavy bbl and high wall case hardening. Weighs in at 10 lbs.
