Welcome to the The Winchester Model 1876 board.

[Grizzly Adams]

I"m joining the group too. Should have my Uberti 1876 22" 45/60 by Monday evening. I'm also looking at a 50/95 28"" model Uberti, which I'll no doubt pick up, just because they look so cool. Beautiful guns - I'm gettin' ancy! Will post pics when in hand. 

Howdy, brassmagnet.  I have added you to the list of the blessed!   Looking forward to seeing pics of your new 76s.

I finally got both guns in and took a few pics. Here's one of them side by side. The carbine is 45/60. The 28" model is in 50/95. One is a Cimarron and one is a Taylors, respectively. The only difference I see, other than bbl length of course, is the printing on the top and side of the barrel. I prefer the Cimarron model for that reason - but they are both nice!

 Still waiting for warmer weather and ammunition!

[Grizzly Adams]

Very nice rifles there, brassmagnet!  I also have one of the Cimmie 76s in 45-60 with the short barrel.  Nice balance! 

That 50-95 should be a real hoot to shoot!  Hope your weather warms soon so you can go shoot those beauties!

[Dirty Brass]

Thanks Grizzly Adams. The carbine is definately lighter and swings better on target. I thought they both balanced out very nice, and I almost like the longer barrel if time permits aiming longer.

These guns sure are sweet. Heavy, but sweet! I'll let ya' know how the 50/95 shoots when I get some ammo for it. I'll rate the "hoot" from 1-5!

Just a FYI. I talked with Cimarron this afternoon to see if they had received any shipments of the Centennial, and I was informed they do have some 45/75 models in stock again. Not sure how many, but I am sure it's minus one 'cause I jumped on one right away...another caliber to start accumulating data for 

If yer' lookin' to get one, or were on the fence about it, mabe give em' a holler.............

While looking over the Shiloh website, I came accross this one. I Like old guns, especially Winchesters. I have a few of each, but I do have a real liking for the 1876. This was last weekend at the Kalispell gunshow in Montana...



This is one of my originals in action on the plains of eastern Montana...



Smaller game with the same rifle...



A picture of a rock pass in eastern Montana, with names and dates back into the late 1800's...



Bigger game with a Deluxe 40-60. One should go better heeled in persuit of animals of this size...



I have hunted and killed most types of Montana big game at one time or another with original Winchesters. I like the idea of this site, I think I will check in once and awhile.

Welcome to fire, Shrapnel, and thanks for posting the great pics!   Those are some beautiful rifles!  Looks like that deluxe 40-60 did just fine on that moose!

Drop in anytime and sit a spell!

Sign me up! I just added two Chaparral short rifles, one in 45-60 and one in 50-95 to my collection, and I can't wait to shoot them! The 76 has always been my favorite Winchester. I had two originals back in the 70's but had to let them go years ago. These will just have to do until, or if, I ever get another original.
