They call the Model 1873 the gun that won the West, and there's a reason that nickname stuck for a century and a half. This Short Rifle version brings the legend back in a chambering that makes a ton of sense today: .357 Magnum, which also happily digests .38 Special. That means you can share ammo with your revolver, keep range days affordable with .38s, and still have real thump on tap when you load magnums. The full-length magazine tube holds 10 rounds of .357 or 11 rounds of .38 Special, so you get plenty of shooting between reloads.
The details here are what separate this from the sea of reproductions. You get a Grade I black walnut straight grip stock with a satin oil finish, a classic rifle-style forearm with a blued steel cap, and a blued steel crescent buttplate that settles into the shoulder the way the originals did. The 20 inch round barrel wears a brushed polish blue, and the steel loading gate feeds cartridges smoothly. At 39 inches overall and about 7 pounds 4 ounces, it carries easily and swings fast.
A Marble Arms gold bead front sight pairs with a semi-buckhorn rear for a quick, traditional sight picture. If you want to tighten up your groups, the rear tang comes drilled and tapped for a tang-mounted peep sight, which is a popular upgrade for both target work and cowboy matches. No rails, no plastic, just steel and walnut done right.
Cowboy action competitors love the 73 because the toggle-link action cycles pistol cartridges fast and smooth, and matching your rifle to your revolver caliber keeps the ammo box simple. It's also a fine pick for small to medium game inside reasonable distances, a fun plinker, and a rifle that tends to get handed down rather than traded in. If you've been eyeing an 1873, there's real satisfaction in owning one that says Winchester on the barrel.
Yes, it's chambered for .357 Magnum and will also run .38 Special. That flexibility is a big part of the appeal, since .38s are cheaper and softer shooting for practice while .357 gives you more punch for hunting or heavier work. Capacity changes with the shorter case too, holding 10 rounds of .357 or 11 rounds of .38 Special in the tube.
This is a genuine Winchester Repeating Arms Model 1873, built to modern production standards with the classic toggle-link style action, steel receiver, and Grade I black walnut furniture. Plenty of companies make 1873 clones, but this one carries the Winchester name. For a lot of buyers, that heritage is the whole point.
You can. The rear tang comes drilled and tapped from the factory for a tang-mounted peep sight, which is a common upgrade for cowboy action matches and precision work. Out of the box it wears a semi-buckhorn rear and a Marble Arms gold bead front, which is a fast, traditional setup. Note the receiver is not drilled and tapped for a scope, so plan on irons or a tang sight.
It's one of the most popular rifles in the sport for good reason. The 1873 action cycles pistol cartridges quickly and smoothly, and chambering it in .357/.38 lets you feed your rifle and revolver from the same ammo can. The 20 inch barrel and roughly 7.25 pound weight make it quick handling between stages as well.
