Winchester 1873 Sporter Features
At Winchester Repeating Arms they know a great deal about “legends.” Their product line is full of them. But few can match the legendary look, feel and function of this very special octagon-barreled Model 1873. This rifle exemplifies the lever-action genre with smooth lever-action operation and a rich satin oil finish on the walnut stock that accents the stunning cased colored components.
The Winchester Model 1873 is loved by Cowboy Action Shooters because it fires the same ammo as their revolvers. It features a beautiful walnut stock with a satin oil finish that’s velvet smooth to the touch. It has a quality, level of polish and finishes that are superior. The steel loading gate provides for smoother loading. The rear tang is drilled and tapped for an optional tang-mounted rear sight for a more precise sight picture. This 1873 Sporter model features a color case hardened receiver finish, straight stock, and octagon barrel.
