Uberti Yellowboy Rifle Saves Couple from 250-Pound Black Bear in Colorado


According to Uberti, the well-known Italilan gunmaker specializing in reproductions of Old West era firearms, a Texas man defend himself and his wife from an intruding 250-pound black bear using one of the company?s 1866 Yellowboy rifles.

Bill Williams, fired eight shots from the lever-action carbine chambered for .45 Long Colt in close quarters, killing the bear after it broke into the 400-square-foot cabin in Colorado that he was occupying with his wife, Stephanie, the release from Uberti says.
This article reads to me like an Uberti advertisement. The story also doesn't pass the smell test with me.

Am I alone in coming to that conclusion?
