This week, we’re taking a closer look at the Uberti 1885 Courteney Stalking Rifle. With a design hearkening back to the days of the British explorers, the 1885 Courteney Stalking Rifle is a classic falling block, chambered in traditional .303 British. Beautiful Grade-A walnut furniture well complements the gun's deep bluing, while a quarter rib slotted to accept Weaver rings sits topside, for the easy mounting of a modern optic. For more information on this historical hunting rifle, check out the video embedded above, hosted by Executive Editor Jon Draper and Digital Associate Editor David Herman. MSRP: $1,689;uberti-usa.com.

This version uses axis deer simply because that’s what I happened to have in the freezer, but this sauce works beautifully with almost any species of venison.
