I have been wondering the same thing--these Hi-Walls are certainly buyable if they are any good---anyone know about these rifles.   leadball

If you shop around some you can find origional ones for similar bucks. At GunBrokers there is a Ballard with a $1500 bid now.

It's more fun to shoot real rifles.

I can't speak to schutzen, as I've never shot it.

But I will tell you that for silhouette the Ubeti's can be competitive. I've had one for awhile and shot my way in to AAA with it. I would say that it is to a Meacham or a Ballard high wall what a Pedersoli Sharps is to a Shiloh.

The Uberti will get you started, which is what I used mine for, and will let you be fairly competitive till you can decide wether you want to stay in the game or pursue other hobbies.

If you stay in the game you will upgrade to a better rifle (whoops I meant rifles ) and wether your scores go up will depend on the loose nut behind the butt.

eventually I will rebarrel my Uberti to another calibre, but only because I have enough 40-65's, the actions are very good looking

Maybe someone else can answer if it works for schutzen

I bought a 30/30 HW that would not shoot a decent group. bore was larger at the muzzel. Uberti replaced it with one that shoots MOA consistantly. Their customer service to me was excellent.They even followed up to see if I was happy. I think they make a good rifle for the money. My 45/70 shoots tight groups with smokeless but am having problems with the black. I am expecting big things from the Cabella's Pedersoli Sharps which I have yet to break in.
