Just a quick and dirty cell phone pic, I'll try to get some better ones tomorrow.

I like the looks of that "rifle" (model) config better than the carbine.

Congratulations on a fine rifle.

Thanks guys,

Yes it is one of the new production Winchester/Mirokus, in 45-70 Govt. 24" round barrel "Short Rifle", weight is about 8.5 lbs empty. I've been working the action (helping out Rocky Lane on the tube

and it's getting slicker already.

Going to be a couple weeks before I can get some dies and bullets to load up some ammo, so the range report will be a bit delayed.

Here are a few more pictures, all the batteries for my real camera are dead so these are from the cell phone too.

And the extra "heft" is easier on the shoulder!
