Hey 1874 - ain't that a carbon barrel with a steel sleeve? I always wanted to get me a Christensen Arms CF rifle but never got around to it! I didn't know they made a ML too.
Can't wait to see the range report on it. That is a cool looking rifle.
RASOB you're not alone with that disorder. I have a 1895 Guide Gun, a 1895 Cowboy and now this Pedersoli. I had a Browning 78 with an octagonal barrel and sold it. That thing kicked like a mule!
