WINCHESTER - 1873 SPORTER OCTAGON CURVED GRIP - 44-40 WIN - PRE-ORDER

Like no other. Do you like the look of a curved grip stock on a classic rifle like the '73? Read on if you do. Because there is no doubt that there is something entirely cool about a curved grip stock that has been combined with an octagon barrel. It has the look more of a dedicated rifleman than a working cowboy. You may love this rifle for other reasons, but the fact remains that a '73 like this is purely a classic. But we have taken it a step beyond with a walnut stock with fine Grade II/III walnut that simply gives it the look of the special limited rifles produced by Winchester in the mid-1800's that became the legend of stories and movies.

Timeless styling. The classic rifle-style forearm offers a timeless look and feel. It features a polished blued steel receiver, lever, crescent buttplate and forearm cap. And then the crescent buttplate is the final touch -- slipping right into your shoulder for a more solid hold from any shooting position.

Set your sights. The rear tang is drilled and tapped for tang mounted rear sight (not included). Features a semi-buckhorn rear sight and a Marble’s gold bead front sight.
