REB, you have picked a great cal. to shoot. My guns are not for sale but have two Schofileds 7 in 44/40. Two 7 1/2 in Uberties, two USFA 5 1/2 , and one Rem. Oulaw in 5 in. My favorite the Schofields. The USFA's I shoot blackpowder and they are very well made, so say better than the Colts. Will you be at the National? Should have the Schofields there. Tj
