Taylors and Company 1873 Trapper | .357 Mag | 18″ Barrel | 550181

The Taylors 1873 Trapper pairs a classic lever-action profile with modern fit and finish. This model features an 18-inch octagon blued barrel and a color case-hardened receiver matched to a checkered walnut pistol-grip stock. For optics, a compact low- to mid-power riflescope such as a Vortex Crossfire II 2-7×32 (priced well under $1,000) complements the Trapper for close- to mid-range engagements while preserving the rifle’s traditional sight picture. Applications for this rifle include cowboy action / SASS competition and recreational target shooting.
