Taylors and Company | 1873 Compact Carbine | .45 LC | 9rd

The Taylors and Company 1873 Compact Carbine is a lever-action rifle built in the classic 1873 profile, chambered in .45 LC with a 16.125 inch round barrel and traditional wood carbine-style buttstock and forend. The carbine configuration and blued metal finish preserve the historical look while keeping handling compact for quick shouldering. This rifle is well suited to cowboy action shooting and recreational range use. For a practical optic under $1000 that pairs well with this platform, consider a Vortex Crossfire II 1-4×24 for short- to mid-range engagements.
