Winchester 1873 Deluxe Sporter | .45 Long Colt | 24″

The Winchester Model 1873 Deluxe Sporter is a classic lever-action sporting rifle chambered for .45 Long Colt with a 24-inch half-octagon/half-round barrel and a color case-hardened receiver. It combines Grade V/VI walnut furniture and period-correct fittings with adjustable sights and a top tang drilled and tapped for a peep sight. For an optic under $1,000 that pairs well with the rifle for field and target work, consider a Vortex Crossfire II 2-7×32, which preserves the rifle’s sight picture while extending effective aimed fire. Typical applications include hunting medium game and cowboy-action or recreational target shooting.
