I'm going to buy a new 1873 rifle, I'm lost in all the options, Long Hunter, Codymatic,EMF the list goes on. Which rifles seem to be the best value and the most reliable? Thanks
Hoss Shoer,
I have already said this, but I think going to a gunsmith who works on the action just makes sense:
!.) It increases the resell value of the gun
2.) You only have to pay FFL fees once ... rather than a.) buy the gun and pay FFL FEES to have it shipped to your FFL .... then pay the FFL to ship the gun back to have it worked on ... then pay the FFL AGAIN to receive it from the Gunsmith.
3. ) the smith puts a warranty on any parts and services he touches ... then if you go through Cody Conagher, you have Taylor's & Co Behind him ...as opposed to the warranty on the rifle AND parts that vanishes the moment your screwdriver touches the rifle ...
IMHO ...
TTFN,
