The Rifle That Made History

The year 1873 marked a turning point in American firearms design. The original Winchester 1873 quickly became a favorite of pioneers, lawmen, and outlaws across the frontier. Its strong steel-frame construction, chambering in popular pistol cartridges, and fast lever-action cycling made it the perfect companion rifle for those who also carried revolvers in the same caliber. Uberti has re-created this piece of history with unmatched attention to detail, ensuring that the 1873 Half Octagon Rifle lives up to its legendary reputation.

Classic Half Octagon Barrel Design

The defining feature of this model is its distinctive 18-inch half-octagonal barrel, which not only adds period-correct authenticity but also improves balance and handling. The combination of a short length and octagonal profile makes the rifle compact enough for field use while still offering excellent stability and accuracy. Whether used for target shooting, cowboy action competitions, or hunting small- to medium-sized game, the Uberti 1873 Half Octagon Barrel Rifle is built to perform.
