Design and Build Quality
Built by a respected maker of historic reproductions, this Lever Action stays true to the original Winchester lines while upgrading materials and fit. The 20″ barrel provides a balanced sight radius for iron-sight accuracy without making the rifle unwieldy on the line. The blue case-hardened steel frame gives durable corrosion resistance and an attractive finish that complements the A-Grade walnut stock. The shotgun-style buttstock improves shoulder contact for steady aiming during timed stages.
Sights and Handling
The gold bead front sight is a simple, high-visibility reference suited to speed shooting and daylight range work. The short-stroke lever reduces wasted motion between cycles, speeding up reloads and improving shooter rhythm in competitive or practical drills.
Ballistics and Practical Use
Chambered in .45 Colt, this rifle offers mild-to-moderate recoil with heavy bullets, translating to comfortable follow-ups and reliable terminal performance on medium-range targets. The caliber remains popular for cowboy action, recreational target shooting, and close-range brush hunting. At a price of $1527.99, the UBERTI W73 COMPETITION positions itself as a premium reproduction built for shooters who want both heritage and performance. View product details and pricing
