Howdy folks, I'm new to this sport and still have a lot to learn. I'm looking to upgrade my rifle setup. Here's a bit of background: this was my old setup, and please pardon the outlaw red dot—I only used it for Steel Challenge. As a student, when I first got into the sport, I bought a Rossi R92 stainless for $800. It’s a solid, reliable gun, but I’ve found that it’s holding me back from improving. Even though I sent it to PGW for tuning, it lacks a short stroke kit. Now, I’ve decided to get a new rifle. A new 1873, fully tuned, costs around $2,200, which is out of my budget, so that's not an option. Buying a used gun or a factory stock-tuned rifle seems more realistic. I’ve heard the Winchester Miroku 1873 Competition Carbine comes with a sort of short-stroke action, but I haven’t seen any detailed reviews about how it compares to a fully tuned 1873 in terms of action. I’m also considering looking for a used tuned rifle, but I’m concerned that modifications might void the warranty. Could anyone provide advice on choosing between a used tuned rifle or a stock-tuned Winchester Competition Carbine? Any input would be greatly appreciated! Slim
