I do not know anything regarding Uberti rifles.  Would the Uberti be considered alright for shooting BPCR Silhouette?  After looking over the past records posting from the national matches in New Mexico, I've never seen a Uberti listed.

I've had two one good one bad. First one had a bad chamber, Taylor's sent another one. Had Butch U recrown barrel and it shot fine after that. Broke firing pin tho and was a year getting a new one. Shooting buddy made me one to get by until the new ones arrived. If you should get one get a 1/2 dozen firing pins. I sold it to another shooter and he's broke a couple pins too. Over the years I've owned 4 Ubertis 2 were good 2 were not. 50 percent not that good for what guns cost now days.  My 2 cents.Mike

There is a High Wall Winder of proven accuracy listed For Sale on this forum.  That one is more expensive up front, but it will do the job.

Gents, 

A group of us shoot BPCR silhouette with the Uberti DST PG low walls (various importers) and they are very competitive. I had to cut an inch off mine to get rid of some really ugly gouges in the rifling at the muzzle.  Although a used rifle when I got it, bluing in the gouges revealed that those gouges were there when it left the factory.  I suspect that's why the other fella got rid of it.  I didn't see them because of all the powder left in the bore of an otherwise excellent condition appearing rifle.  Caveat emptor.  With a 6x scope, it now consistently shoots an inch or just slightly over (occasionally much better) at 100 yards with the right ammo, but be aware that it is really picky about what ammo it will shoot.  Others I know with the same model rifle, report the same really finicky ammo preference.  Each of ours shoot something different best and ammo that shoots exceptionally well in one may be a splatter fest from another.  I'm the only one who had to cut the barrel back to get rid of an accuracy destroying problem.  It wouldn't shoot anything well until I got rid of that mess.  Only one broke a firing pin over the last 3 years, but everybody (but me) carries a couple spares.  Time to order some, I guess, because I know what will happen next time out if I don't.

By the way, be aware that the stock LOP is only 12 1/2 inches which is a bit short for a wiry guy my size.  I wish it had at least another 1 inch.

Yes, the Uberti 1875 is a replica of the Winchester 22LR HiWall and is 100% legal for any BPCR Silhouette match.  Buy the Deluxe model with the double set trigger - checkered hand grip and forearm. And the Uberti barrels are made by Pedersoli which are match grade barrels
The reason that you don't Uberti's in the match scores for the NRA Raton BPCR matches is because the top match shooters use Shiloh Sharps - C Sharps and origional 1885's primarily.  In fact any single shot 22LR that is within the NRA Silhouette regulation for approved period rifles are legal:

The Uberti is legal for .22 BPCR Silhouette. FYI, the National match at Raton draws the top BP and .22 BPCR Sihouette shooters in the country and as far away as Australia. We typically have a good group of present and past National Champions competing. We also see some top Schuetzen shooters competing as well. I'd have to check the equipment list for exact numbers, but I expect that there aren't more than just a few Uberti rifles shot at last year's match. That's out of 120 shooters in the match. None of the top shooters use them.
