There is a reason the 1873 earned its reputation, and this Taylor's & Company version keeps all the character while chambering it in something you can feed without hunting down obscure ammo. Built by Uberti in Italy and imported by Taylor's, this rifle runs .357 Magnum and .38 Special interchangeably, which makes it just as happy punching paper with soft-shooting .38s as it is pushing full-power magnums for small to medium game inside reasonable ranges.
The 24.25 inch half octagonal barrel is the classic sporting rifle length, and it does more than look right. The extra sight radius makes the dovetailed buckhorn rear and blade front genuinely useful, and the longer tube brings capacity up to a healthy 13+1. At around 8.2 pounds with a 43.25 inch overall length, it settles nicely on target and soaks up recoil to the point where .38 Special feels like almost nothing. The 1:12 inch twist stabilizes common bullet weights in both cartridges without fuss.
This is where Taylor's 1873s tend to win people over. The color case hardened steel receiver shows those swirling blues and browns that no two rifles wear quite the same, set against a deep blued barrel and a checkered walnut stock with a pistol grip profile for a more hand-filling hold than the traditional straight stock. The toggle-link action is smooth out of the box, and it is a favorite platform among cowboy action competitors for good reason: the geometry lends itself to fast, easy cycling.
Whether you are getting into cowboy action shooting, want a woods rifle that pairs with a .357 revolver, or just appreciate a lever gun done the traditional way, this one covers a lot of ground. It is the kind of rifle that gets passed around at the range and comes back with a few new admirers every time.
Yes. This rifle is chambered for .357 Magnum, which means it also safely fires .38 Special. Many owners run inexpensive .38s for range sessions and cowboy action matches, then load .357 Magnum when they want more punch. Keep in mind capacity may vary slightly between the two since .38 Special cases are shorter.
It is manufactured by A. Uberti in Italy, a company known for high quality reproductions of classic American firearms, and imported and spec'd by Taylor's & Company in Virginia. Uberti-built 1873s have a strong reputation for smooth toggle-link actions and excellent fit and finish.
It is one of the most popular platforms in the sport. The 1873 toggle-link design cycles fast and smooth, and the .357/.38 chambering keeps ammo costs reasonable. The 24.25 inch barrel version adds sight radius and magazine capacity, though some competitors prefer shorter barrels for handling speed, so it comes down to personal preference.
The buckhorn rear and blade front are both dovetail mounted, so they can be drifted for windage and swapped for aftermarket dovetail sights if you want something different. Elevation on the buckhorn is adjusted with the sliding elevator ramp, the traditional way. It is a simple, rugged setup that suits the rifle's character.
