In my humble opinion, a replica is never better than the true deal.
It's a Winny 1885 in good condition at a good price in a clambering you said is on your hit list....whats the question?!?
The tang sight is just gravy.
Go buy it then take some pictures of it and show it off.
Then take it out and shoot the old girl. Maybe even whack a critter or two with it...
Just my .02
