Uberti 1873 Hunter Short Rifle 342711 – .45 Colt, 20″ Barrel, A-Grade Walnut Stock, Blued Finish

The Uberti 1873 Hunter Short Rifle 342711 is a modern evolution of the legendary Winchester 1873 design, adapted for today’s hunters who need a lever-action rifle capable of safely handling contemporary straight-wall cartridges. Chambered in .45 Colt, this rifle blends classic Old West aesthetics with updated features, making it an excellent choice for both big-game hunting and recreational shooting.

Built for Modern Hunting Needs

With the rise in popularity of straight-wall cartridges in states that previously restricted rifle hunting to shotguns, Uberti developed the 1873 Hunter line to give sportsmen a reliable and effective alternative. The .45 Colt chambering makes it ideal for hunters who prefer manageable recoil while still delivering the stopping power needed for medium-sized game. While the rifle is rated for modern ammunition, standard pressure loads are recommended for the .45 Colt model to maintain safe operation.

Classic Lever-Action Heritage

Based on the original “Gun That Won the West”, the Uberti 1873 Hunter Short Rifle retains the timeless style of the Winchester 1873 while incorporating modern upgrades. The ergonomic pistol-grip walnut stock and 20-inch barrel make it well-balanced and comfortable to shoulder, while the rubber butt pad helps tame recoil during extended shooting sessions. This balance of tradition and modern function makes the 1873 Hunter a versatile lever-action rifle that bridges history and today’s hunting demands.
