Uberti 1873 Competition Rifle 342900, .45 Colt – 20″ Barrel, A-Grade Walnut Stock

The Uberti 1873 Competition Rifle 342900 is a precision-engineered lever-action rifle chambered in the classic .45 Colt. Built as a faithful reproduction of the legendary Winchester Model 1873—famously known as the “Rifle that Won the West”—this competition-ready model is enhanced for today’s Cowboy Action Shooting while retaining all the historic charm of the original.

A Historic Legend Reborn in .45 Colt

When Winchester introduced the Model 1873, it quickly became the most popular rifle of its era, favored by pioneers, lawmen, outlaws, and cowboys alike. Its widespread use was further cemented when Colt began offering its Peacemaker revolver in the same caliber, meaning a cowboy only needed a single cartridge belt to arm both his rifle and revolver. Chambered in .45 Colt, this Uberti 1873 Competition Rifle recreates that exact convenience, making it not just a historical tribute, but also a practical and powerful firearm for modern shooters.

Engineered for Competition

Unlike standard reproductions, the Uberti 1873 Competition Rifle is specifically designed for speed and performance in competitive shooting. It features a short-stroke lever that reduces cycling distance, allowing for faster follow-up shots—a must-have in Cowboy Action Shooting matches. The gold bead front sight provides excellent visibility and quick target acquisition, helping competitors stay on target during rapid-fire stages.

Weighing in at 8 pounds, with a 20-inch barrel and overall length of 39 inches, this rifle offers a perfect balance between maneuverability and stability. The weight helps reduce recoil while keeping the rifle steady during fast strings of fire, giving shooters the edge they need in competition.

Classic Craftsmanship Meets Modern Precision

Uberti is renowned worldwide for its authentic reproductions of historic firearms, and the 1873 Competition Rifle is a perfect example. Featuring an A-grade walnut shotgun-style buttstock, it provides both comfort and control, while the case-hardened frame and blued steel barrel combine durability with timeless Western aesthetics. Each rifle is carefully fitted and finished to ensure not only beauty but also long-lasting performance.
