Five shots went under an inch. But McDaniel s borescope revealed a significant area of chatter marks in the cut rifling. Fire lapping might well obviate this. Especially where the buttstock and frame join. I find it hard to tell.
Wood finish is a satin lustre.
It looks good. Only time will tell. In sum, I think this rifle is a very good value for the money. Finally, the Uberti high-wall doesn't entirely try to be an original, even though it looks like one. Instead, this rifle comports itself to be a Uberti single-shot, and that's just fine with me.
