The Taylors & Co 1873 Taylor Tuned .45 Colt lever action rifle combines classic Winchester heritage with modern refinement. This isn't a mall-queen showpiece—it's a working rifle for hunters, sport shooters, and anyone who appreciates a smooth, reliable action that's been genuinely improved from the factory. The Taylor Tuned package elevates the standard 1873 with a custom action, hand-polished internals, and tuned springs throughout, delivering one of the smoothest lever-action trigger and hammer pulls you'll find. Built on the 1873 platform that made lever actions legendary, this rifle delivers the accuracy and speed you need in the field or at the range.
The 20-inch octagonal barrel keeps the rifle trim and handy without sacrificing sight radius or velocity. At 7.9 pounds and 39 inches overall, it balances well for both bench work and hunting in close terrain. The walnut straight stock and case-hardened frame give it authentic period character, while the buckhorn rear sight and blade front sight are proven sighting solutions—simple, fast, and reliable. In .45 Colt, you get a cartridge with real stopping power and moderate recoil, making it equally at home hunting medium game or running drills at the range. The 10-round capacity keeps you competitive in sport shooting and gives hunters a confidence boost in the field.
This isn't a clone or a safe queen—it's a rifle built to shoot. The custom action work means dry-fire practice cycles smoothly, offhand shooting feels natural, and rapid follow-up shots stay on target. If you've shot a standard 1873 and wished the action felt tighter or the trigger broke cleaner, the Taylor Tuned option addresses both. Lever-action purists and practical shooters alike will appreciate the attention to the fundamentals that matter: a crisp pull, smooth travel, and zero surprises.
