Just got back from the four day annual High sierra Shoot Out at Railroad Flat, CA. I used my .45 1860 Henry on ten stages, as I was using my .45 Schofield shooting 1872 Open Tops as my pistols. I did, however, use the 44-40 old model (pre-safety) Rossi 1892 on two stages, just because. Never missed a target, and slick and smooth. That was on the first day of the main match. On the second day, my pard, Hanging Judge Hemp (he and I camped together) had to use it as his main match rifle, as his Marlin .38 Cowboy totally locked up. He used it 6 stages, with never a miss or malfunction.
The rifle's prior owner had apparently done a CAS action job on it with: lighter springs, highly polished action, and a replaced extractor spring (it did not mash the 44-40 cases like the early Rossi rifles do. I had checked for zero before the match, and nailed a 2" pinecone off hand at 30 yards with a 6 o'clock hold, so I knew I was good.
When I get my second .44-40 Uberti pistol out of Californication 10 day jail, I plan on alternating every other match with the Henry and Open Tops, and the Uberti 44-40s and the Rossi.
