My H&R 1871 Buffalo Classic Rifle

[MontanaVet]

My 1871 Buffalo Classic Rifle is back from Robar.  The receiver is done in NP3 and the barrel is matte black Roguard.  The rear sight is a Wesson & Harrington Long Range Sight, adjustable to 1000 yards,  and the front sight will soon be a Shaver New Style 17A.  Right now it is a Lyman Globe with a Shaver insert.

The butt stock cover was done by Levergun.

Is that a H&R Walnut stock or a custom stock?  Looks nice!

[quickdtoo]

Looks like a standard checkered walnut BC stock, some have more figure than others.

Thanks for the comments.  I bought this rifle new and sent it off to Robar.  I have not even shot it yet.  The finish cost $320.  I know that is allot, but this rifle will last several generations.  The stock is the original walnut.  I did replace the screws in the rear sight with 6-48x.200 torx from Brownell's.  Brownell's orders are very fast nowadays.  The front sight is .404, but I am going to the Lee Shaver when it gets here.  I will modify the sight post if I have too.  MV out!
