FEATURES: "The Gun that Won the West." 150 years ago, the revered Winchester Model 1873 began its historic run. Similar to the earlier Model 1866 "Yellow Boy," the '73 traded the brass alloy receiver for iron, adding strength and other improvements such as a dust cover that covered the loading/ejection port. Fortunately for Winchester, the release of the '73 coincided with unbridled expansion into the untamed region of the American West, which caused demand for these reliable rifles to soar. During the course of the next few decades, the Model 1873 was used by cowboys, Native Americans, ranchers, farmers, pioneers, law enforcement agents and outlaws alike. It was in their hands that the legend of the Model 1973 was forged. High gloss blued steel receiver, lever, and forearm cap with gold enhanced 150th Anniversary engraving. Grade V/VI Walnut straight grip stock with a satin oil finish that’s velvet smooth to the touch. Classic rifle-style forearm with forearm cap for the timeless look and feel of the original Model 1873. Crescent buttplate slips right into your shoulder for a more solid hold from any shooting position. Semi-Buckhorn rear sight with marble arms® gold bead front sight gets you on target quickly. Receiver top tang is drilled and tapped for an optional tang-mounted rear sight that gives you a more precise sight picture and the timeless look and feel of shooting a long-barreled frontier rifle.
