Good morning
That is going to be a long time enjoyable rifle. Been carrying 73's for many years chasing groundhogs and getting to see other critters in the process. A 44-40 pushing a 200-240 grainer will be more than enough rifle for any beasty you will ever see that weights 500 pounds or less.

Merry Christmas, indeed. Seems I need to get off the "naughty" list so I can get myself something like that. Very nice!

Thanks for the kind words. It will mainly be used for CAS but will see a bit of field use as well. Took it out just the other night to christen it & got a couple of bunnys. Shoots pretty well as far as I could tell, I'll put it over the bench on the weekend.
Now I'm thinking of selling my existing Uberti 1876 & getting one made the same as this 73 to make a cased set, what do you guys think?
