I love it! It sure is alot handier than the behemoth 28"er's. The sight leave a bit to be desired, but since I'm not a long range shooter it shouldn't be much of a problem. I think it will make for a nice snap shooter. Half the weight of a full size 76. I'm hoping dies will arrive soon so I can load up some rounds.

That looks really good! Great photos too. Shouldn't we be calling this the "Presido" rifle instead, based on the engraving?
Again, nice looking gun!

Loaded 4 with 18.0 TB and 290gr Blue Falcon bullets. only slipped 1 in the chamber and the bolt closed fine and ejected fine. Don't really want to load it up and jack shells in and out in the house in town, just in case accidents. Have wads coming this week and some 400gr Big Lube bullets coming too. On the notify list at Buffalo Arms for the custom .515 lube/size die. Slowly getting the stuff together.

Those pictures in the snow make it look like it is case colored from the condensation.
That configuration makes for the absolute lightest '76. There was once a 50-95 on the shelf for a couple years at Cimarron, it had a 16" barrel and mag tube, was antiqued, and the stock which had the finished stripped off had fantastic burl figure. But it also had a large (marble-sized?) gouge out of the wood in front of the lower tang. One day it was gone. My theory was that whatever had damaged the wood had also messed up the barrel, thus the chop. Always thought that would be a great brush gun. And now there's the Presidio!

That really looks well balanced. How many rounds does the mag hold?
