Winchester 1873 Sporter Rifle 357 Mag/38 Spl 14rd Capacity 24″ Barrel Walnut

Description.

There is something entirely cool about a curved grip stock combined with an octagon barrel. It has the look more of a dedicated rifleman than a working cowboy. You may love this rifle for other reasons but the fact remains that a '73 like this is pure classic. We've even taken it a step beyond with a handsome walnut stock with a satin oil finish that’s velvet smooth to the touch.

The classic rifle-style forearm offers a timeless look and feel. Then of course the color case hardening on the robust steel receiver lever crescent buttplate and forearm cap protect against corrosion and offer the most authentic 19th century look you can get. And then the crescent buttplate is the final touch slipping right into your shoulder for a solid hold from any shooting position.
