The CCH is really nice. But Uberti always does a good job on that.

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.......

How does that round compare with the 45-70? A S&W .50 would be cool!

The Lee Enfield had the reputation but it chambered the .303.
