I'm in the market for a Winchester '73 or one of the Italian clones. Right now I'm looking at either the case hardened short rifle from Winchester/Miroku or the deluxe short rifle sold by Cimarron (Uberti).
Actually looking at hanging this thing up in a room at the cabin that's got a bunch of railroad and 1800's stuff, but it won't just be for looks. I plan on taking it out back and shooting often.
I've read good things about both. I've read the Mirokus may be better made and seems the Uberti may have soft screws and some other things that'll require upgrades. I want something that's going to be good to go out of the box. I'm not planning on competing with this thing but do want it to be a good solid rifle. Either way I go I plan on getting it chambered in 357. Not historically accurate I know, but I've got a few pistols chambered in 357/38 and would like to keep the ammo situation easy.
Any suggestions would be welcome.
