Can someone tell me which other cals this rifle comes in ?apparently only the short magnums at the moment ,is this correct ? thks !

Read at http://www.cimarron-firearms.com all Uberti firearms are listed there !

I recently got an 1885 Uberti, that is not in the Cimarron line.
It seems Uberti makes them and Cimmarron sells them, but Cimarron does not sell all that Uberti makes.

I got a 30-30 high wall.

I stand corrected Tnekkcc ! I guess to help velodog ! order Uberti's catalog at their web site , free! http://www.uberti.com

oooooooops maybe you misunderstood me,on the winchester website the NEW 1885 winchester comes in wsm short magnums 270,7mm,300, but i wanted a 7mm rem mag ,as i had one before but was a idiot and sold it, so am determined to get another .The win website only lists as far as i can tell ''SHORT magnums '' why you would need one in a single shot is beyond me,since single shots arent restricted by length of an action ,any way i hope i can get one as i think they are better and slicker ,action than a NO 1

In a single shot the shorts don't offer anything better than the standards. Are they still made in Japan by Miroku like my Browning 1885 ?

Dont know where they are being made at the moment, the Browning i had was made in Japan and i couldnt fault the quality of it ,only thing i didnt like on it was the tacky gold trigger

Velodog you will have to look for an older Browning 1885 7mm Mag, I think you said you owned one, they had I think 28" octagon barrels, lotsa velocity there. Action I believe is identical to current Winchester 1885 which are only made now for idiotic SSM calibres.

A 120 year old design... might be a good candidate for traditional calibers... just a marketing suggestion.

The Winchester [USRAC] website now has is taking a poll asking what cartridges would you like the 1885 chambered in !!!

Has to be a marketing opportunity there, a lot of decicated BPCR shooters buy a new Uberti and have it fitted with a Badger or Green Mountain barrel in a traditional calibre - 40/70SS is popular.
