I had the chance today to shoot a Chiappa 1886 Winchester clone

In .45-70, of course.

One I shot had a round barrel, and I think a somewhat less curved buttplate.  Gorgeous case-hardening in the appropriate places, it hadn't been shot much before so the action was a bit tight.  Good trigger.

What would I want different?  A shotgun style buttstock, because this sucker gets your attention when you touch off.  I'd probably look at a tang sight as well.  Otherwise, on a short acquaintance, oh yeah.
