If you spend the $1,000 + on a Uberti 1873 lever action, you will end up with a rifle that is much, much better made than a Winchester Miroku 1894 Ranger. Their Colt SAA clones are well made and respected.
Should I move Korth to "boutique"?

Not sure what your pointa bout Uberti is. I'm not looking at rifles. Or is that a signature line? If you know about Uberti - my question is: should they be in First Class for their handguns (only revolvers, I think), or should they be Economy. I know they're not cheap. But are they supremely well made, with quality over cost?
