Detailed Features

The A-grade walnut stock is well-finished and provides a solid, comfortable grip. The case-hardened frame gives the action both visual appeal and durability. Iron sights come standard, which works fine for the ranges where .45 Colt is typically used.
The 10-round tubular magazine gives you a useful round count without adding excessive bulk.
Target Audience
This rifle is a natural fit for cowboy action competitors, hunters working in closer terrain, and collectors who want a historically accurate lever gun that still functions well today. The manageable recoil makes it accessible for newer shooters, while the craftsmanship holds up for experienced ones.
Usage Scenarios
The 1873 in .45 Colt is a good choice for small to medium game hunting, lever-action competition stages, and range work. The .45 Colt round is mild enough for extended sessions and effective enough for practical use.
