Re: New 1860
I came home with a HRA 1860 about an hour ago. I love it. I'll get some pictures up in a day or so.

By the way, RanchRoper is a natural born marksman and his accuracy is way better than most mortal men. I'm 67 now, but if I eventually grow up, I want to shoot as well as he does.

Re: New 1860
Nice shooting!RanchRoper wrote:Well...here is my two cents....I had a Big Boy 45 Colt (great rifle!) and looked very closely at the HRA 1860 Original and was over the moon when they offered it in 45 Colt. However, by the time it gets here to Canada on a special order (no shops carry it here even now) it was almost $3500. Even selling my Big Boy, I could not justify that amount of dough. I did many many hours of research on the 1860 Uberti and read virtually every review I could find. I had some private message conversations with a forum member here who has shot lots of Ubertis (1866's, 1873's) with the same toggle link action as the 1860. All reports were that the Uberti was reliable, accurate, and historically correct. I bought mine through a Canadian dealer, who is the Cimarron representative in Canada. Cimarron imports Ubertis in Texas. I paid $2k and could not be happier. The rifle is flawless, and if there is one difference I like comparing the HRA to it, it's the brass receiver. Nothing against the HRA brass, but my Big Boy brass was almost too shiny. The Uberti brass is already taking on a patina that I really like. I have never physically seen the HRA one, but the stock looks like it has a little bigger belly on it too. So I researched that as well, and it looks like the first version of the original 1860 back in 1860 had a deeper belly on them. Later versions were like the Ubertis. Doesn't really matter but I just thought I'd mention it. See the link below and see the difference.

The stocks on the HRA ones are absolutely gorgeous but again, the Uberti stock is closer to the originals if you compare museum ones to them. See photos attached. Customer service? I have not had to use it yet. We all know the HRA service is outstanding.
For me; the $1500 I saved bought 1500 rounds of ammo. I'm sure the prices are closer in the USA. You can't go wrong either way, but IN MY OPINION ONLY, the Cimarron/Uberti 1860 is as close as you can get to holding an original in your hands.
Good luck and git 'er done! Post pics whatever you decide on!

Re: New 1860 pictures
Here are a few pic's of the 1860 as promised. It is 45 cal. and it just might be a while before a range report. Weather isn't very good here right now.

Thats one very nice looking rifle for sure. The wood on the 1860's is awesome. I have seen a few on GB and thought about getting one but the price just kind of held me back. But so did the wife. Al

Don't worry about getting older and still doing stupid stuff. You'll do the stupid stuff as always, only much slower. Hold my beer and watch this.......

Re: New 1860
BigAl, they are a lot of money. After my heart surgery a year ago Uncle Sam put me on 100% military disability for agent orange from over 49 years ago. I decided money isn't everything (although it helps) and have wanted one for many years and my wife said if I wanted one to get one. She didn't have to tell me twice.
RanchRoper,no problem but it is a long ride to my place. I will have the coffee on when you get here. LOL Your always welcome.
