My Christmas Rifle
I might as well share my new toy, here is my Christmas Levergun, Uberti 1876 in 45-75WCF. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Years.

Re: My Christmas Rifle
That's beautiful. Should that caliber be 45-75?

Re: My Christmas Rifle
Nice rifle! I really like your photo, and will look forward to seeing some range reports.
I have one in .45-60; it's a real hoot to shoot with black powder, but I get better accuracy using smokeless.

Santa was very good to you...Merry Christmas, really nice rifle... :)
Re: My Christmas Rifle
Them are fun guns to shoot. Enjoy.
Re: My Christmas Rifle
I'm waiting on a Lee Factory Crimp Die, should be here next week. This rifle has the larger "Uberti Chamber", from all I've read about it, one gets a few extra grains of BP in the case. I'm not much of a black powder shooter, but do have some APP in the powder room, so I'll give it a try.
The rifle feels really good on the shoulder, it's got some heft to it for sure. I'll probly have to get something better for the front sight in the future, kinda hard to see.

Re: My Christmas Rifle
Beautiful, and I thought I liked older cartridges! It is amazing how many cartridges there was in the early cartridge days. Seems a lot like our constant proliferations of cartridges today.

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!

Thank you all for the kind words. If ever I get over this darn flu, I'll get her out to shoot.
