The Taylors & Company 1873 Comanchero .45 Colt lever action rifle brings authentic Old West style and proven mechanics to modern cowboy action shooting and period-correct hunting. This Model 2028 reproduction captures the spirit of Winchester's legendary 1873—the rifle that helped settle the frontier—but purpose-built for shooters who want practical custom features right out of the box. If you're serious about Cowboy Action Shooting (SASS) or simply appreciate historically inspired firearms that actually work, the Comanchero deserves a hard look.
What sets this rifle apart is the factory-applied refinements that save you gunsmithing costs. The short-stroke links provide a slicker, faster lever cycle than stock 1873s, and the custom tuning means the action cycles smoothly from day one. The buckskin lever wrap isn't just aesthetic—it reduces hand fatigue during extended shooting sessions and gives you better grip control when things get fast. The elk butt stock cover adds durability to the walnut furniture and a genuine cowboy-era feel.
The sighting setup is practical: a raised gold-bead front sight pairs with a traditional buckhorn rear, giving you a capable sight picture for close- to mid-range work. The 20-inch octagonal barrel strikes a balance between handling and sight radius—it's handy in the saddle or across a benchrest, and the .45 Colt round delivers reliable, manageable power without excessive recoil. At 7.59 pounds, the rifle points naturally and won't wear you out during a long range session or hunt day.
The case-hardened frame carries that classic color-case finish, while the walnut straight-grip stock and brown finish deliver authentic appearance without fussiness. Built on proven 1873 geometry, this rifle respects tradition while incorporating the refinements competitive and recreational shooters actually want.
