Uberti 1885 Courteney Stalking Rifle Review - Shooting Times

Uberti's 1885 Courteney Stalking Rifle is a classically configured hunting rifle that's equally at home in the big whitetail woods and on the African savannas.

Here is another.

Yeah, I'd like to see a little more accuracy for a $1700+ single shot.

 

[sestoppelman]

Thats why we handload.

 

[Red Leg]

Whenever they market one with a rib and recesses for Talley mounts, I'll gladly pay the price - even a premium. I will not have a hideous rail on a "classic" stalking rifle. And at my age I need a scope.

They do offer as an accessory a solid base with sight only. Suppose it could be cut for whatever rings a guy wanted.

Indeed. I'd just like some reassurance that the rifle is capable if the handloader does their part.

Uberti Courteney Changes/Upgrades

All, just an FYI on my "baby," the Uberti Courteney (.303 British and .45-70 calibers available so far). As we speak, a set of Talley screw-lock rings are en route to Gardone, Italy, where I'm having the factory look into doing away with the Weaver-type slots in the quarter-rib in favor of...

@Tom Leoni has there been any progress?

 

[sestoppelman]

Indeed. I'd just like some reassurance that the rifle is capable if the handloader does their part.

I have every confidence, having shot many Uberti made rifles and handguns that it will acceptably accurate, which to me for such a rifle is at least 1.5 MOA, hopefully nearer 1 MOA.

I wont know for a week or so, dont have it yet.

 

[cajunchefray]

Any reporting you can do on accuracy would be valuable and appreciated.

Yes interested in your shooting review.

Is that a 6 shot group or two 3 shot groups? Load info?

 

[Graham Hunter]

Sorry couldn't load picture and ad comment. So thanks @sestoppelman . I felt guilty last week after your comment on not shooting my Courteney. Took it out tonight . Only had some OLD Fed and Win ammo. Top right group is Win 180 Power Point and left is Fed 150 Power Shock. Both at 1" at 100yds. I am very happy! Trigger pull is very good. The only thing I noticed is with the long light barrel it has a lot of muzzle flip. Now TOM if you will make a 7x57 put me 1st in line.

2 3shot groups. Read below.

 

[sestoppelman]

That looks good, though it wasnt me admonishing you for not shooting it yet.
Mine is stalled in shipment with the holiday, and UPS tried to send it in the wrong direction, but is said to be on the way so probably late next week or early part of week after, sigh.

I think we would all be happy if ours shoot that well.

 

[Graham Hunter]

Well whataya waitin for?!

Isn't this you?

 

[sestoppelman]

Isn't this you?

A thousand pardons! Had forgotten about that, I stand corrected.

Tom told me a couple of years ago that it had to be rimmed cartridge. I was with you on wishing it was available in 7x57 or .275 Rigby.
