I just noticed that the well-known custom gunmaker Steven Dodd Hughes has a superficially similar 1885 in .30-40 on his bragging page. He spent 150 shop hours making his version of an English stalking rifle, not counting the barrel work and engraving which were done by others. His is much nicer, and is based on an original 1885, but I am very sure that it would cost a lot more than $1700 to purchase. Several times more. The Uberti is for the man with Rolls Royce taste and Ford purse.
