This Model 1873 rifle is a replica of one of the original Winchester Repeating
Arms designs made over a century ago. The Winchester Model 1873
features a sleek design, precision machining and hand finishing
uncommon in most of today’s mass produced guns. These are qualities
that require more effort to provide the lasting beauty and durability
you will appreciate for years to come.

easy to load and shoot.
