New Rifle

So I'm getting ready to purchase a new rifle.  I'm set on going with a Uberti.  They make some real high quality replicas of the old school cowboy rifles, so I'm going to stick with them over Henry.
I'm set on getting a short barrel, aka a carbine, 18-19.5 inches.
I am also going for a full octagonal barrel.
The 45 Long Colt is the caliber I'm going to take.
I'm a fan of the Brass receiver, so I won't compromise on that either.
All of these rifles are between 18-20 inches, so they hold 10+1 rounds of 45 Colt.
There are 3 rifles that I'm torn on currently, so people help me out.  Lnx below.


1860 Henry

This is the first lever action repeating rifle.  The smooth brass looks snazzy, and it weights a little less than the other rifles.  It is actually the most expensive, at  $1329

1866 Yellowboy

This rifle is an advancement on the 1860.  It is loaded from the side as opposed to the bottom, which makes reloading much faster.  Also, there is a wooden fore-end, which not only looks nice, but protects your hands from heat after sustained fire.  $1079

Colt Lightning

This baby is the fastest repeating rifle of its era.  It's pump action, just like shotguns.  Crazy, huh?  I do like the "Case Hardened" receiver, which is more tactical when compared to brass, since it isn't reflective.  "Nothings faster than lightning."  $1179

Bruce Lee Kick

I'm not sure words can describe the Fear that encompasses my body after witnessing this video.

This is a man that you would never want to mess with.

Nature's Serenity

I came across some music on Pandora from Tim Janis [Pandora] .
"Believing that music can be more than entertainment, the composer began his Music with a Mission project, with the purpose of encouraging understanding and cognizance between different people and cultures. "
His music is pretty good, and very relaxing.  I really like his album art.  I posted all the good ones below, that seem to fit with his theme of the beauty and peace of nature.
Sometimes I fear that at man's current rate of progress, we may one day rape earth of its natural beauty.

I absolutely love theses reflection pix.  

There's nothing for me to say, that you inevitably won't see yourself, after but a mere glimpse at this scene.

I like how there is rapids right here by this house.  What a sweet place that would be to live.

This one is incredible. A misting waterfall above, and a gentle rolling stream below. 

Conifers creep up the rock face, while deciduous trees line the water.

I like how the trees at the base of the lake resemble the mountain in the background. 

Polar opposites attract.

Really neat pic of autumn at its best. That hue of orange is incredible.

Notice the green grass beneath the leaves on the ground.

What little bit of green is left on the tree's leaves tries to forgo its inescapable turn.

I really like this pic a lot. Fog rols in from the left, creeping up the hill to the right.

A small flock of trees opposite of a budding meadow of yellow and white.

The reflection is incredible here. Clearly a sunrise or early shot. 

This pic must be pretty high up in the mountains.
