Lead Friend, SASS #53635 Posted March 22, 2019 Share Posted March 22, 2019 I received today as promised an almost comically long and yet devastatingly handsome Cimarron Uberti 1873 with a 30” barrel that I purchased last week on the SASS Classifieds from the above mentioned cowboy. The communication was excellent, the transaction was crisp, the turnaround brisk, the packaging flawless and the rifle is exactly as it was described. You can see it pictured below with a 32” Crescent hammered SxS which will no doubt become its best friend and a 20” Winchester Miroku 1873 for contrast. I didn’t need it but I sure wanted it and now it’s mine. If I can’t hit the targets with this one I’ll push ‘em over. Thank you, Pugilist! I’ll take good care of her.

Dutch Wheeler Posted March 22, 2019 Share Posted March 22, 2019 So, you're just going to reach out and touch the targets with the end of the barrel? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sedalia Dave Posted March 22, 2019 Share Posted March 22, 2019 Nice rifle. Wonder where that barrel came from. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J-BAR #18287 Posted March 22, 2019 Share Posted March 22, 2019 That is a beautiful rifle and your pride is completely justified. I had a long barreled rifle and had problems with the bullets running out of lube before they exited the barrel. Accuracy became a problem late in the match ( there are still some clubs that put small rifle targets way out there!). So check for a lube star on the muzzle occasionally. Not trying to be a wet blanket, just letting you know my experience. I was using blackpowder and that could make a difference. Enjoy that thang!

Pugilist sass1006 Posted March 22, 2019 Share Posted March 22, 2019 Just remember to stand back from the shooting line or you will knock over the rifle targets & scratch the forearm with the pistol targets during sweep at some clubs. That rifle has allways functioned flawlessly, I will miss that one. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
