12/30/11 Range report update...My First Cowboy Rifle

Post by Mossyoak1957 »

Update range report Pic.12/30/2011


Uberti 1873 Deluxe Sporting Rifle 32-20
Just picked this up the other day from a fellow member on here.Can't wait to shoot it.

I guess you can call it my first Cowboy gun I do have a Browning 1886 45-70 Rifle but that's my
"Big Bear Gun"

My last 5 shots @ 100 yards. with Winchester 100gr. ammo I'm happy with it cause Im far sighted and the front sight is a little blurry when I shoot iron sights. Also shot some ultramax 115 gr. really didn't care for them not near the punch as the Winchester ammo

That's awesome!

Just spent the day shooting with three of my grandsons. They liked the model 92 in 32-20 best of what we shot. Fun caliber.

The little .32 WCF is at the top of my "FUN" cartridge list... And the '73 is a perfect platform for it.
Enjoy your combination !!!!!

I know you will get alot of enjoyment from that rifle in a great round. I have an 1892 Winchester .32wcf I bought in 1953, my all time best rifle.

I've got that same rifle fixed up with a Marble's tang sight and a Lyman 17A globe front that I use for Cowboy Lever Action Pistol Cartridge Silhouette shooting. Just last month I fired my third Master score, and as soon as I can hold steady enough for ten-in-a-row on Turkeys I'll have completed a Grand Slam too!

These rifles are great shooters. Congratulations and enjoy! :D

This is my first, a Mattel "Shootin' Shell" I got way back in second grade. Until you shoot one of these, you don't realize how cheap it is to shoot real guns. "Shootin' Shell" ammo is about $60.00/pack of 2 shells and 6 projectiles, and that is if you can even find it...

I had one of those too and that's why I think I have this subconcious addiction to the Model '73. :D
