Description:
As good as the Uberti High Wall Sporting Rifle is, there is always room for improvement.
We’ve been asked by some High Wall admirers if we could put their Uberti rifle on a diet to reduce the advertised weight of 9-1/4 pounds to something that is more manageable. That weight may be tolerable for bench shooting or stand hunting, but the rifle is just too heavy and ill-balanced to carry all day in the field. Also, the stock is too long for most hunters and the curved buttplate snags on the shoulder when mounting the rifle. Some have said that the buttstock is just too thick and clubby and the forearm “Schnabel” lacks definition.
We studied the rifle and here is the result:
We shorten the barrel to 26 inches and turn it 2/3 tapered round which not only reduces the weight, but improves the balance. Then we mount a Rocky Mountain Front Sight and “de-horn” the rear sight to provide a much better sight picture. A Gold Bead front sight is also available.
The buttstock is just too long with a 14-inch length of pull and a sharp-pointed crescent buttplate. So, we reduce the LOP back to the Winchester regulation of 13-1/2 inches and “de-horn” the buttplate as well. We also remove the belly and excess thickness of the buttstock and define the forearm to a more pleasing mild Schnabel style. Then we finish the stock with our Tung Oil Vintage Finish for all-weather protection.
The result is a handsome, sleek and handy 7-1/2 pound rifle that snaps to the shoulder like a fine shotgun and seems to aim itself. Take a look at the photos and you'll see what we mean. But photos cannot convey the wonderful liveliness of the rifle once we've done our magic to it. You can't imagine how taking off just the right amount of wood, in just the right places, can transform your High Wall into a super sleek and nimble rifle.
We can also rebore, rifle, and chamber your Uberti High Wall to fire .50-110 Winchester or .50-70 Gov’t cartridges.
