The 1873 Competition Rifle was created to provide competition shooters with a high level of performance in a lever-action rifle. featuring an action job with a short-stroke lever, 20-inch octagonal barrel for manoeuvrability and accuracy, shotgun-style buttstock for quick shouldering and gold bead front sight for quick target acquisition, is ready to go right out of the box. some stock marking from safe and match use i always loved the case hardening on this rifle and will be sad to see go but i have other projects to fund. check out my other listings
