I have both the Winchester/Miroku and Uberti 1873 rifles and I like them both. Currently depending on the model there isn't a lot of difference in price between the two. My newest is the Winchester 1873 Deluxe Sporting rifle in .357/.38 special and it is a very fine rifle. I would love to have a carbine as well. Like Taylorce 1 said, no difference in function and little difference in handling characteristics. I will say I do not shoot .38 Special in my rifle as I reload and just shoot lighter .357 reloads.
