Known as "The Gun That Won The West," it is hard to imagine a more beautiful representation of the Model '73 mystique. With its tough and rugged steel cased-colored receiver, and classic round barrel with traditional sights, this rifle is as ready for serious shooting and hunting as the originals were more than 140 years ago. Cowboy Action Shooters love the reliable Model 1873 because it fires the same ammo as their revolvers. The Short Rifle Case Hardened model features a brush polished blued barrel, Grade II/III walnut stock, color case hardened crescent buttplate, semi-buckhorn rear sight, Marble's gold bead front sight, forend cap and loading gate.
