This is probably a question that's been asked before.
But until recently I wouldn't have felt qualified to answer it. Just got hold (after a 5 month wait) Uberti 1866 Yellowboy .38SPL. Smoothest, best shooting levergun I've ever had. Previous guns:
Marlin 1894C .357 - wouldn't feed anything but FMJ of JHP boolits. But nice rifle.
Win 1894 .44Mag - loose action - lever safety a real PITA and kept ejecting spent cases down the back of my neck. But lighter and more accurate than the marlin I had. Would feed anything.
I had only heard good things about the Uberti's. Now I know it to be true. Smooth action and no anoying lever safety. Feeds anything. Looks great.
What do you guys say? I've seen a Uberti 1873 - next on the wish list.
