(GunReports.com) — Uberti’s new lever-action 1873 Competition Rifle was created to provide competition shooters with a higher level of performance in an over-the-counter package.
This Winchester 1873 replica incorporates several features that make it competition-ready right out of the box. An action job slicks up the trigger and shortens the lever’s stroke for accurate and rapid fire duties. The 20-inch octagonal barrel allows for greater maneuverability and yet still provides the accuracy that is required in fast-action competition.
A shotgun-style buttstock provides for quick shouldering and a gold front sight bead aids in quick target acquisition. Uberti’s 1873 Competition Rifle carries a 5-year warranty.
“This is for the shooter looking for a race-ready gun out of the box,” said Dan Rice, Uberti Product Manager.
