Uberti 1885 Courteney Stalking Rifle .303 British 24.25" Barrel (348571)
Description: Uberti 1885 Courteney Stalking Rifle 303 British 24.25" Barrel (348751) $75 Shipping. This rifle is new in the box. By the 1890’s, the Wild West of America had been almost completely claimed by westward expansion. However, on the other side of the world a new era of exploration and adventure had begun: African Big Game Hunting. Much like the Europeans who had settled the North American frontier, British hunters and naturalists began to venture into the untamed lands of Africa and Asia in search of large and exotic animals. One of the most famous of whom was Fredrick Courteney Selous, a professional hunter, British Army Officer and personal friend to fellow big game hunter Theodore Roosevelt. Selous had a preference for high-powered, single-shot rifles, which he used to great effect during his hunts with dangerous game. Uberti’s 1885 Courteney Stalking Rifle is modeled after Selous’s preferred long-gun, and is finely crafted to emulate the original. It utilizes a Martini-Henry type action, and features an aesthetically pleasing case hardened receiver. The 1885 Courteney Stalking Rifle is also equipped with a fully adjustable shallow-V rear sight, and a Weaver type rail for mounting scopes. Features of the Uberti 1885 Courteney Stalking Rifle:
