The Winchester 1873 earned the nickname "The Gun That Won the West," and this Taylors & Company version, built by Uberti in Italy, stays true to that legacy while quietly improving on it. You get the classic toggle-link action, a 20 inch blued octagon barrel, a color case hardened receiver with those swirling blues and browns no two rifles share, and checkered walnut on both the straight buttstock and forend. Chambered in .357 Magnum with a 10+1 capacity, it also runs .38 Special when you want soft-recoiling, budget-friendly range sessions.
The DE in this model number matters. This is the Taylor Tuned version, which means the action gets hand polished internals, custom hammer and lever springs, and a custom magazine tube spring for an overall lightened, smoother cycle. On a standard 1873 you would typically pay a gunsmith for this kind of slicking-up work after the fact. Here it arrives done, and the difference shows the first time you run the lever. Cowboy action competitors have leaned on tuned 1873s for years because the toggle-link design cycles flat and fast, and this setup gives you that head start without any aftermarket fuss.
The fixed buckhorn rear and blade front sights are simple and period correct, and both sit in dovetails so you can drift for windage. At around 7.9 pounds with a 39 inch overall length, the rifle carries its weight up front thanks to that octagon barrel, which steadies your hold on offhand shots. The 20 inch tube wrings good velocity out of .357 Magnum loads, making this a legitimate short-range woods rifle for deer and hogs, not just a range toy. One design note worth knowing: like the originals, the 1873 uses a transfer bar style safety rather than a crossbolt, so the clean lines stay uncluttered.
Between the case colors, the crisp checkering, and that tuned action, this is the kind of lever gun that gets passed around at the range. It shoots as good as it looks, and it looks like it belongs in a glass case.
The Taylor Tuned package means the action is hand polished at the factory with custom hammer and lever springs plus a custom magazine tube spring, resulting in a lighter, smoother cycle. It is essentially the action job many owners pay a gunsmith to perform on a standard 1873, already done before it ships. If you plan to run the rifle fast, it is worth having from day one.
Yes. Like most .357 Magnum lever guns, it happily feeds .38 Special, which is cheaper and softer shooting for practice and cowboy action matches. Just keep in mind that tube-fed rifles should only run flat or round nose bullets, never pointed tips.
It is manufactured by Uberti in Italy, widely regarded as the top maker of 1873 reproductions, then imported and spec'd by Taylors & Company in Virginia. Uberti's fit and finish on these is excellent, from the case colors on the receiver to the walnut checkering.
Within reasonable distances, yes. The 20 inch barrel adds meaningful velocity over a revolver, making full-power .357 Magnum loads capable on deer and hogs at woods ranges. The fixed buckhorn and blade sights are dovetailed, so you can drift them to dial in your preferred hunting load.
