Video - Shooting the Burgess rifle
Last week it was almost 80 degrees...this week it barely broke 30. I had to break out the heavy leather coat.

Thanks for posting that up. Very informative. Ever since seeing that rifle pop up on Uberti's website I've had this itch..... Wanting to add a nice old school lever action to the collection and like the uniqueness of this one. May have to have one.

I really enjoyed reading the article about that rifle in Guns of the Old West. I've got an original Lightning in .38-40 from 1884 and since I'll never be able to afford to buy an original Burgess (and if I could, I suspect that my wife would find some unique way to make me be sorry for it), I think that one of these times I'm going to have to pick up one of those replicas.
Interestingly, the first few years of Lightning production didn't have a dust cover on the ejection port, either, but at least they had a spring loaded gate on the receiver. Another great video!
