TAYLOR’S & CO. 1892

Design & Ergonomics

This modern version of the 1892 Lever Action was reimagined for the hunting market while retaining the smooth lever stroke that made the platform famous among Cowboy Action Shooters. The overmolded black rubber soft-touch coating on the stock and forend improves retention in wet conditions and reduces felt recoil. A padded stock end adds comfort on long glassing sessions and repeated follow-up shots, and the D-shape lever provides a natural hand index for rapid cycling with gloves or bare hands.

Optics-Ready and Sighting System

The barrel is drilled and tapped for optics, so mounting a compact riflescope or low-power variable optic is straightforward without gunsmithing. The skinner express-style rear sight system gives traditional backup iron sights that work with hunting-style slingside cheek placement. For hunters who prefer glass, the drilled-and-tapped barrel simplifies mounting a scope for longer shots and quicker target acquisition in brush country.

Field Utility

Reassembly in the field is fast and tool-less—an important advantage when you need to clear malfunctions, clean, or pack out of rough terrain. Model configurations are listed under the Taylor’s & Co. lineup as Various, with caliber and specific options varying by model, so confirm the chambering that fits your hunting needs when you order. Price is set at $1704.99, reflecting the combination of traditional design and modernized features.
