[QUOTE="Pulp, post: 3265516, member: 14195"] The Italian guns are considerably less money than the Winchesters, if that is an issue, but I'd bet you already knew that. Uberti makes good rifles, but they will probably need some extra action smoothing. You can also have short stroke kits put in them, some shorten the lever throw to the point you can keep your hand on the receiver and work the action with just your fingers. I think short strokes are becoming available for the Winchesters also. Short strokes are just for the '73, you can't short stroke a '92. Personally I favor the '92 over the '73, lighter weight and just super handy to carry around in the woods, plus the action is a lot stronger if you had a hankerin' to soup up your loads a bit. Downside to the '92 is the action is more complicated, with a lot of little bitty parts. Plenty of good info on taking them down and smoothing them out there on the web though. If budget is not a problem, then definitely go with the Winchesters. [/QUOTE]
