Just had to add another '73.

[Buckaroo Lou]

Recently added this to my very modest 1873 rifle collection. I already have a couple of Uberti rifles and they are nice rifles, but this new Winchester is something else. Just haven't been able to get to the range with it yet.

Dang, that is a looker!  Caliber?

[Buckaroo Lou]

Abilene, I decided on Winchester's .357/38 special since ammo is readily available and reasonable. I realize the caliber isn't original but I also have a '92 in .357 and it is a fun rifle to shoot and very accurate.

I also have two other 73's. Bothe are Uberti's and one is in .45 Colt and the other is in .44-40. Here is a photo of all three together.

I have done a little hunting with the one in the middle in .45 Colt. Killed several large feral hogs and hunted Whitetail deer although I have not take a deer with it.

Beautiful wood and case colors. You couldn't have hand picked a nicer specimen.

LB001, here are a couple of better photos of the wood.
