Shiloh 1877's - Randy Bohannon - 03-24-2017
Has anyone taken delivery of the 1877's, are their any estimated wait times for said rifle ? I am going to put my order in the next few days, still deciding on which cartridge,Leaning toward 45-90 . I want to shoot it until I'm dead.Would love one in a 44-77 that would make it no brainer.
Thanks

They have just started the first production run from what I've heard. That would suggest delivery in the fall or so.

Thank you Bryan,That's encouraging.

Kirk says when they get the bumps out of the production the wait time should be the same as a 74
RE: Shiloh 1877's - Randy Bohannon - 03-24-2017
Thank You Don .I assume 18-24 mos. That gives me time to perhaps add some things I had not considered such as a Rigby flat, their just cool.I have no desire to add a scope.
So far, 45-90,32" round barrel polished, brass eschutions, fire blued screws and traditional steel butt plate.

Well I'ld say that after this original flurry of rifles get shipped, then yes 18 months without a handful of extra's
I'm going with 40-70 the panels, Rigby flat and checkering. Polished screws and barrel, AA finish and custom bedding.
RE: Shiloh 1877's - Randy Bohannon - 03-24-2017
Don is the AA finish worth it on regular grade wood ? The 40-70 SS a frustrating pleasurable cartridge if there is such a thing.I have seen some of your targets,I will get there someday with mine.
RE: Shiloh 1877's - Don McDowell - 03-24-2017
I think the extra on the finish is worth it even on the standard wood.
Captec 40-70 cases made load work up pretty easy.
RE: Shiloh 1877's - parkergunz - 03-24-2017
As of today 20 letters have been sent out. All standard wood
Still working out the stock making problems.
RE: Shiloh 1877's - Don McDowell - 03-24-2017
I went ahead and placed my order on the web site. Now the wait begins.
