Lever-action rifles remain a cornerstone for shooters who value fast follow-up shots, intuitive handling, and historic lines married to modern performance. For precision shooters who want the character of a classic action with refined mechanics, a tuned lever gun can deliver a noticeable step up in smoothness and responsiveness.

What the Taylor Tuned action changes

The TAYLOR’S & CO 1873 TAYLOR TUNED features a custom action enhanced by hand polishing and targeted spring upgrades. Hand-polishing critical contact surfaces reduces friction, producing a smoother cycle and crisper lockup. Custom hammer and lever springs and a custom magazine tube spring work together to provide consistent timing and lighter, more positive operation. The overall lightened action reduces the effort required to cycle the rifle, which benefits controlled rapid-fire and reduces shooter fatigue during extended drills.

Why those features matter in the field

Polished action surfaces and tuned springs translate to smoother feeding and quicker, repeatable cycling—important for shooters transitioning between targets or running drills. The pistol-grip buttstock promotes a secure, repeatable hand position for modern shooting techniques while the checkered forend gives better forehand purchase for off-hand work or stabilized positions. Although specific calibers vary with the model lineup, this platform traditionally accepts common lever-action chambers; confirm caliber availability on the product page.
