Uberti 1873 Hunter Short Rifle 342712 – .44 Remington Magnum, 20″ Barrel, A-Grade Walnut Stock, Blued Finish
The Uberti 1873 Hunter Short Rifle 342712 is a powerful lever-action rifle chambered in .44 Remington Magnum, designed specifically for hunters in states where straight-wall cartridges are permitted. Combining classic 19th-century styling with the ability to safely shoot today’s modern hunting loads, this rifle delivers the perfect balance of historical authenticity and modern performance.
A Hunting Rifle Built for Modern Times
With the rise in popularity of straight-wall cartridges in areas previously limited to shotguns, Uberti created the 1873 Hunter series to give hunters a reliable option that meets current regulations while offering exceptional performance in the field. The .44 Magnum chambering gives hunters the confidence to pursue medium- to large-sized game, while maintaining the smooth lever-action operation that has made the Model 1873 a legendary rifle.
Classic Lever-Action Heritage with Modern Strength
The original Winchester 1873 was known as the “Gun That Won the West”. The Uberti 1873 Hunter takes this time-honored design and reinforces it with modern materials and precision engineering. Unlike the .45 Colt version, the .44 Magnum 342712 is built with an extra-tough blued steel action that can safely handle the higher pressures of modern magnum hunting ammunition. This makes it a versatile rifle that delivers both power and tradition.
