Taylors and Company 1873 Trapper | .45LC | 18 in

The TF Uberti 1873 Trapper from Taylors and Company is a classic lever-action rifle chambered in .45LC with an 18-inch octagonal barrel and checkered walnut furniture. It ships with Taylor tuning which includes hand-polished action components and upgraded springs for a notably smooth hammer and trigger feel. This model combines traditional Winchester-style aesthetics with a refined action suited to period shooting and field use. For an optic that pairs well without exceeding typical practical budgets, consider a Vortex Diamondback 2-7×35 as a compact, reliable variable for close-to-moderate ranges.
