My Afghanistan bound USMC son and I want to get for our collections (more than for hunting) "old west" representative lever action rifles ... possibly with same period single action western pistols (we might try cowboy action shooting).
The investigation we have done so far is coming up with Uberti (or Cimirron) "Winchester" 1873s (18-20 barrels) & 1873 "Colts" (5 1/2 or 7 1/2 barrels) by the same makers ... chambered in 357 (for cost and convenience as we have other 357s).
What is your opinion / recommendations? THANK YOU!
