Winchester 1873 Deluxe | .357 Mag/38 Spcl | 24″ barrel

The Winchester Model 1873 Deluxe is a classic lever-action sporting rifle finished with a color case-hardened receiver and a Grade V/VI walnut stock with an oil finish. This example is chambered for .357 Magnum / .38 Special and uses a 24″ half-octagon/half-round blued barrel with a sporting configuration and adjustable sights. The top tang is drilled and tapped for an optional peep sight; a compact variable-power riflescope such as a Vortex Crossfire II 2-7×35 provides appropriate magnification, durability and value for under $1,000.

Common applications include recreational range shooting and period-correct cowboy or sporting events that favor traditional lever rifles. The rifle’s configuration and caliber make it suitable for informal target work and close-range field work where a compact, fast-handling rifle is preferred.
