Uberti 1873 Competition Rifle Features
The Uberti 1873 Competition Rifle .357 Mag distinguishes itself through its factory action job and short-stroke lever, providing faster cycling and smoother operation than standard 1873 models. Its shotgun-style buttstock supports quick, consistent shouldering, while the gold bead front sight promotes rapid target acquisition during competition stages. The A-grade walnut stock and case-hardened receiver deliver steady, comfortable handling characteristic of a tuned lever-action rifle.
The 20" octagonal barrel balances maneuverability with the sight radius needed for accurate off-hand shooting. A rubber buttpad adds comfort during long match sessions, while the blued barrel integrates seamlessly with the rifle’s case-hardened furniture for an authentic period appearance. A six-groove, 1:18.75 right-hand twist stabilizes .357 Magnum loads effectively. At 39" overall length and 8 pounds, the rifle provides excellent stability without sacrificing speed.
