Buying a Schofield, and need some advice

Howdy,
In 1969, I had the opportunity to fire an original Schofield #3, and ever since I have wanted one for my own.
Thanks to selling a bunch of big boy toys that I haven't used for years, I can now afford to put one in leather.
I do need some advice. I have read a lot of posts on many forums of poor performance of early guns, such as timing weak lockup and the most dreaded, the unmatched chamber and barrel dimensions.
This makes my question, are the current production Uberti Schofields free of these problems? I have seen some great You Tube videos of a fellow cutting a one inch group a number of times with no function problems. So, I am wondering if the current production pistols can be trusted?
My gun store can get me one now at a rather good price, considering the retail price and lack of stock from most distributors I would like to place the order.
Thanks,
Wolf Killer
