Winchester has hit a home run with the newest '73s. The rifle has a rapid taper 24" octagon barrel that was special order only back in the day. Up side is it makes the rifle version lighter on the front end but still plenty stable to shoot easily off hand with. All the wood on these guns is spectacular, from the straight grained Grade I American Black Walnut used on this gun to the presentation beautiful II/IV on the color cased guns to the exhibition grade V/VI grade wood used on the SHOT SHOW Special this year. Spectacular and most importantly oil finished like the originals. This '73 is short stroked compared to an original 1873 but it is not a SASS short stroked race gun. But no question it does make a great SASS competitors rifle. I actually like the more traditional lever throw on these guns compared to my full race Uberti. This series of rifles from Winchester is an exceptional bargain IMO for price and quality in a 1873 styled rifle. Hard not to find a model you like! I am a big fan of the original blued gun and oil finished American Walnut. Winchester made a stunning rifle this time around.
