The Winchester 1873 Short is the Gun That Won The West! But make no mistake; it's just as functional and practical today as it was on the Old West prairie! This rifle is a classic favored by many hunters and shooters, because the 1873 Short Rifle is fast to the shoulder, quick on the swing, lightweight and a pleasure to shoot. It features a compact 20" blued round barrel and a straight grip grade II/III walnut stock. The rifle style forearm provides an intuitive grip and the crescent style buttplate nestles into the shoulder. The color case hardened receiver, lever, forend cap, and loading gate give this rifle a nostalgic look and feel. It has a full length magazine and a traditional buckhorn rear sight with a Marble Arms gold bead front sight. The Model 1873 Short Rifle is an excellent choice for a ranch gun, hunting in heavy cover or even Cowboy Action Shooting competitions. Every shooter should have a good lever action in their collection, but with the Winchester Model 1873 Short Rifle, you have a great lever action in yours!
