Uberti USA 1866 Yellowboy Deluxe Rifle

Boasting a 20-inch octagonal barrel and luxurious A-grade walnut stock and forend, the 1866 Yellowboy Deluxe is based on the Uberti 1866 Yellowboy short rifle. Chambered for .45 Colt, the 10+1 capacity 1866 Yellowboy Deluxe includes a case-hardened lever that seamlessly blends the brass frame with rich walnut furniture.

Exquisite engraving work is a hallmark of this rifle. The expansive use of brass presented the ideal canvas for famed Italian engraver Atélier Giovanelli to introduce classically inspired acanthus-leaf motifs across the polished receiver. Worked into the design is a bugling elk captured in a medallion-shaped frame. On the opposite side of the receiver is an escutcheon that can be left blank or be engraved with the owner’s initials for a truly custom touch. Since the Model 1866 features a “closed top” design, except for the ejection port, a floral engraving is included across the top and bottom of the receiver.

Although the 1866 Yellowboy Deluxe strikes a commanding presence as a display, this rifle is also suitable for use in the field. The .45 Colt chamber accepts a broad range of loads, including cowboy action and target loads as well as heavier loads suitable for hunting. SRP: $1,799. (uberti-usa.com)
