Re: Guess what I just ordered...
Still waiting, told it is coming eventually. Shipments that he was told were coming didn't show due to Uberti/Italy lockdown, shipments that were supposed to ship came partial not complete, sounds like a big mess. Taylor's received some Pedersoli highwalls, both classic and sporting models but 45-70's and another caliber, maybe 38-55 but even if they had a 45 Colt, I don't like the looks of those rifles. I have not invested a penny yet so I will wait for what I want. Taylors is working on it, they say they are getting small shipments weekly now so I will wait. They have the sight in stock now, just need the rifle to mount it on. I spoke with the dealer last week, he called me. Apologized for the mess but he has not had a shipment since spring 2019 due to the license stuff and then the flu BS.
Anyhow, it will be worth the wait.

Looking at an 1885 Winchester in 38-55 might be a retirement gift from me to me.

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.......

Hey, RR, a 38-55 would be a great single shot cartridge, now that you reload. Not that it really matters, but the 38-55 is a more authentic old time rifle cartridge than the 45 Colt.

Easy to load for RR and very easy on the shoulder. I know you like big holes but this 38-55 caliber is so fun to shoot and its one of my all time favs. It would definitely out distance the 45 colt

Re: Guess what I just ordered...
I appreciate the suggestions, and I guess folks must think I am nuts for waiting this long but I want the 1885 in 45 Colt. Stubborn old cowboy I guess who doesn't know when to quit.

Nope not me. Get what you want for sure. If you don’t you will always want it if you get something else to take its place. Don’t blame you a bit for keeping it simple you always have.RanchRoper wrote: ↑Sun Jun 28, 2020 8:29 amI appreciate the suggestions, and I guess folks must think I am nuts for waiting this long but I want the 1885 in 45 Colt.

It will show up. When it does I will exact my revenge on some 3" targets at 100 yds.
