Keeping Traditions Alive Since 1953

The Winchester 1873 earned its reputation as the gun that won the West, and this Taylors & Company reproduction keeps that legacy alive with a twist you don't see every day. Instead of the usual blued barrel and case-hardened receiver, this Sporting model wears white heat-treated steel on both the frame and the 20 inch octagon barrel. The bright metal against the checkered walnut pistol grip stock makes this one of those rifles people stop and ask about at the range.
Chambering this classic design in .357 Magnum was a smart move. You get 10+1 capacity from the full-length magazine tube, and you can feed it affordable .38 Special for relaxed plinking or cowboy action matches, then step up to full-house .357 loads when you want more thump. Out of a 20 inch barrel, the .357 picks up serious velocity compared to a revolver, turning it into a legitimate small game and short-range deer cartridge where allowed. Recoil stays mild either way, which makes this an easy rifle to shoot all afternoon.
Taylors & Company imports these from Uberti in Italy, and the fit and finish reflect that pedigree. The toggle-link action runs slick right out of the box, and the 1873 design gives you that smooth, quick lever throw that made the original a favorite with cowboy action competitors. Sighting is handled by a dovetailed blade front and traditional buckhorn rear, both drift adjustable for windage. At roughly 7.6 pounds with a 38.87 inch overall length, it carries the heft you want for steady offhand shooting without being a burden.
Whether you're getting into cowboy action shooting, adding a pistol-caliber carbine to the safe, or just want a lever gun that looks like it belongs in a saloon rack, this 1873 delivers. The in-the-white steel finish sets it apart from the sea of blued reproductions, and the checkered pistol grip gives it a more refined feel than the standard straight stock models.
Yes, like most rifles chambered in .357 Magnum, this 1873 will run .38 Special just fine. That's a big part of the appeal, since .38 Special is cheaper and softer shooting for practice and cowboy action matches. Just note that lever guns can be picky about very short or oddly shaped bullets, so flat-nose or round-nose flat-point loads tend to feed the smoothest.
These rifles are manufactured by Uberti in Italy and imported by Taylors and Company out of Virginia. Uberti has been building faithful reproductions of classic American firearms for decades and is widely regarded as one of the best in the business. Taylors handles the importing, spec choices, and warranty support on this side of the pond.
The barrel and frame are heat-treated steel left in the white rather than blued or case hardened, giving the rifle a bright, silvery look. It's a distinctive appearance that stands out from typical 1873 reproductions. Like any in-the-white steel, it appreciates a light coat of oil after handling to keep it looking its best.
It's one of the most popular platforms in the sport for good reason. The toggle-link action of the 1873 design is famously smooth and fast to cycle, and the .357 chambering lets you run light .38 Special loads that keep recoil to a minimum between stages. The 20 inch octagon barrel also gives you a nice long sight radius for quick, accurate hits on steel.
