Winchester 1873 Sporter Lever Action Centerfire Rifle Information
The remarkable new 1873 is like no other. It has the look more of a dedicated rifleman than a working cowboy. You may love this rifle for other reasons, but the fact remains that a ’73 like this is pure classic. But Winchester has taken it a step beyond with a walnut stock with a satin oil finish that’s velvet smooth to the touch. The classic rifle-style forearm offers a timeless look and feel. Then, of course, the color case hardening on the robust steel receiver, lever, crescent buttplate and forearm cap protect against corrosion and offer the most authentic 19th century look you can get. And then the crescent buttplate is the final touch — slipping right into your shoulder for a more solid hold from any shooting position. The 1873 Sporter proves that age is just a number – these amazing features just can’t be outclassed.

Recoil was less than my bergara 6.5 more of a slow push than a slap. Now muzzle blast that completely different

First selling point is that it takes Glock mags. What is cooler then shooting your Glock with a 33 round mag then swap the mag and put it in a carbine. Second, it has 2 picatinny rails. One on top for a sight of your choosing. It has a rail on the bottom for a bipod, laser, flashlight or however you want to customize it with. It’s lightweight and so fun to shoot. I was shooting 5 to 6 inch groups at 50 yards with a bipod and a red dot. Not sure if that is good but try that with a pistol I bet you can’t. Ok maybe some of you can.

I purchased this because I am a bit of a prepped and when it goes down this will stop anything with a motor. I do love dialing in the platform and practice regularly with it. This is very accurate and reliable but it is heavy.
