Specifications that matter on the range and trail

Action, ergonomics, and balance

The lever action offers a smooth 10+1 capacity and a 13-1/4″ length of pull that favors shooters who want a compact, quick-handling rifle. At 7 lbs. 7 oz. overall and 38″ in length, the rifle balances naturally for quick transitions and comfortable off-hand shooting while still providing solid weight for steady aim.

Barrel, twist, and caliber performance

The 19″ octagon barrel with a 1:18.75″ twist stabilizes typical .357 Magnum loads and supports both light jacketed bullets and heavier cast bullets commonly used for hunting or brush work. Chambered in .357 Mag, this rifle is versatile: it handles handgun-style defensive loads for close-range duty and heavier loads for medium-sized game at moderate distances. Crossbolt safety adds a practical safety layer without altering the classic lines.

For buyers seeking a historically styled working rifle with modern shooting utility, the UBERTI 1873 at $1,299.99 represents a well-preserved example with authentic finishes and functional features. View product details and pricing
