Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
The H&R 1871 Buffalo Classic is a single-shot, break-action rifle that honors the legacy of 19th-century buffalo rifles, combining vintage aesthetics with modern reliability. Introduced in 1995 as a tribute to the Frank Wesson tip-up rifles of the 1850s, it is chambered in the powerful .45-70 Government cartridge and features a 32-inch medium-weight barrel that enhances both velocity and long-range accuracy. The extended barrel also improves the sight radius, supporting its use in precision shooting. It comes equipped with a Williams receiver sight and a Lyman target globe front sight with eight interchangeable inserts, allowing shooters to adapt to various lighting and target conditions. The rifle’s American black walnut stock is finely checkered and paired with a color case-hardened receiver and a crescent steel buttplate, offering a blend of beauty and authenticity.

Safety is improved with an internal transfer bar mechanism, which prevents accidental discharge when the hammer is down. Weighing around 8 pounds and measuring 46 inches overall, the Buffalo Classic is well-balanced for hunting or target use. Its classic design, historical accuracy, and dependable performance make it a favorite among collectors, cowboy action shooters, and enthusiasts of traditional American firearms.
