An Ode to the Wild West
Embrace the spirit of the Wild West with the Winchester Model 1873 Sporter Octagon Curved Grip Color Case Hardened rifle. This iconic firearm is more than just a piece of history; it’s a statement of rugged elegance and frontier practicality.
The .357 Magnum cartridge is celebrated for its versatility and power, making it a favorite among cowboy action shooters, hunters, and anyone who values a high-performance round. What sets firearms chambered in .357 Magnum apart is their ability to also accommodate the .38 Special cartridge, offering shooters flexibility to choose between the .357 Magnum’s higher velocity and stopping power or the .38 Special’s reduced recoil and lower cost for practice and training. This dual-caliber capability makes the Model 1873 perfect for those who want both power and practicality in one rifle.
The Winchester Model 1873 is a masterpiece, combining traditional craftsmanship with modern engineering. The octagon barrel and curved grip stock aren’t just visually striking—they’re a nod to the dedicated riflemen of the past. The Grade II/III walnut stock with its satin oil finish feels as good as it looks, providing a smooth, comfortable grip for precision shooting.
Color case hardening adds to the rifle’s durability, protecting against corrosion while giving it that classic 19th-century appearance. Whether you’re a collector, a competitive shooter, or a hunter, this rifle will serve you well, offering reliability and performance with every shot.
The semi-buckhorn rear sight and Marble Arms® gold bead front sight ensure you get on target quickly, while the crescent buttplate offers a solid hold from any shooting position. The steel loading gate allows for smoother loading, and the receiver top tang, drilled and tapped for an optional tang-mounted rear sight, provides a more precise sight picture.
The Winchester Model 1873 Sporter is more than a rifle—it’s a legacy. Own a piece of the Wild West and experience the timeless appeal and unmatched performance of this classic firearm.
