Bryant Ridge's Analysis:
The Model 1873 Short Rifle Color Case Hardened epitomizes the timeless allure of the Winchester Model '73, renowned as "The Gun That Won The West." Its steel color case hardened receiver and classic round barrel with traditional sights evoke the spirit of frontier shooting and hunting from over a century ago. Crafted for modern cowboy action competitions, this rifle features a Grade III/IV Walnut straight grip stock with a satin oil finish, providing a luxurious, smooth feel. The rifle-style forearm with forearm cap preserves the vintage aesthetics of the original Model 1873. Elegant color case hardening on the receiver, lever, crescent buttplate, and forearm cap not only enhances durability but also adds a touch of sophistication while protecting against corrosion. The crescent buttplate ensures a secure shoulder fit for stability in any shooting stance. A semi-Buckhorn rear sight paired with a gold bead front sight ensures swift target acquisition, while a steel loading gate facilitates smoother reloading. For those seeking enhanced precision, the receiver top tang is drilled and tapped for optional tang-mounted rear sights, offering a refined sight picture. The Model 1873 Short Rifle is not just a tribute to history but a versatile companion for both nostalgic enthusiasts and competitive shooters alike.
