Description
The Taylor’s & Company 1873 Sporting is a faithful reproduction of the iconic 1873 lever-action rifle, chambered in the classic .45 Colt (LC) cartridge that defined the American frontier. This Sporting variant is built around a steel receiver with a white heat-treated, silver-finished barrel and frame, combining traditional Western styling with modern production quality for Cowboy Action Shooting, range sessions, and field use.
A 20″ octagonal barrel pairs with traditional blade front and buckhorn rear sights to deliver the classic open-sight picture this pattern is known for. The smooth lever action feeds a 10+1 capacity and features an improved loading gate on the receiver for quicker reloads, while the octagon profile helps dissipate heat during extended strings of fire.
The rifle wears a walnut fixed pistol-grip stock in a warm brown finish, sized for right-hand shooters and balanced to deliver an overall length of 38.87″ at a manageable 7.59 lbs. Whether you are stepping to the line for a Cowboy Action match, putting rounds downrange, or adding a Western classic to your collection, the 1873 Sporting delivers the look, feel, and function of the original in a reliable modern reproduction from Taylor’s & Company.
