What’s Included
- Factory cardboard shipping box with Stoeger/Uberti serial-matched label
Built on Uberti’s robust steel High Wall receiver, this single-shot carbine retains the strength that made the original design famous. The falling-block action locks solidly and cycles smoothly, ensuring reliable performance with modern .45-70 loads.
The 22-inch blued steel barrel balances the rifle for quick handling in dense cover while still offering ample sight radius. A blade front sight pairs with a folding ladder rear sight, and the receiver is drilled and tapped for optional tang sights, giving shooters flexibility for precise aiming.
Checkered walnut furniture provides a secure grip and timeless appearance. The pistol-grip stock includes sling swivel studs, a rubber buttpad to tame recoil, and an integral buttstock compartment that houses a cleaning rod—an authentic touch rarely seen on contemporary reproductions.
Stoeger import markings confirm legitimate U.S. distribution, and the rifle carries Uberti’s reputation for detailed fit and finish. Collectors will appreciate the historical accuracy, while hunters will value the potent .45-70 chambering in a compact, 7-plus-pound package.
