Just ordered a Winchester 1873 Sporter 357 caliber, 24" octagon barrel. It should arrive next Thursday. The wait will be unbearable.

That is a beautiful rifle. I have been wanting a Uberti 1873 in .357 half octagon barrel for awhile now. I need to scratch that itch. Congrats and enjoy.

Gorgeous. I own two recent production Miroku rifles (like the Winchester). The Japanese make wonderful rifles and the fit and finish is second to none.

Gorgeous rifle, sir. I would have an extremely difficult time waiting as well.

Great rifles. Many of the Cowboy Shooters I know replace the two piece firing pin with an after market single unit.
