Quote:Would the Uberti be considered alright for shooting BPCR Silhouette?
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:
Quote:A hunting or military style rifle, single shot, originally made for black powder cartridges, of United States manufacture prior to 1896 and being typical of the era. Replicas thereof, regardless of origin of manufacture, are permitted. Hammer must be exposed. If replacement barrels, stocks, or other parts are used, they must be as original. No Schuetzen -style rifles permitted. One rifle will be used during all phases of the match. Examples of permissible rifles are: Ballard, Buck, Bullard, Cole, Farrow, Maynard, Peabody, Redfield, Remington Hepburn, Remington Rolling Block, Sharps, Springfield Trapdoor, Stevens 10 Tip-up, Stevens No. 44, Wesson Falling Block, Wesson (hinged barrel), Whitney Phoenix, Whitney Rolling Block, Winchester 1885, and Wurfflein.
