Taylors & Co 1873 Taylor Tuned .357 Mag Lever Action Brown

The Taylors & Co 1873 Taylor Tuned .357 Mag lever action rifle brings a timeless design into the modern hunting and shooting world with factory-enhanced performance. This is a genuine Winchester 1873-pattern repeater chambered in .357 Magnum—a versatile cartridge that works equally well for hunting medium game, knocking down steel at the range, or as a truck gun that delivers reliable power in a handy package. The Taylor Tuned option elevates this classic platform with a custom action that prioritizes the shooter's experience: hand-polished internals, tuned hammer and lever springs, and a lightened action combine to deliver one of the smoothest trigger and hammer pulls you'll find in a lever gun at this price point.

Built around a 20-inch octagonal barrel and walnut straight stock, this rifle balances period aesthetics with practical field weight at 7.9 pounds. The case-hardened frame gives it that authentic color-case finish, while buckhorn rear sight and blade front sight provide a classic sight picture that's fast to acquire and proven in the field. With a 10-round magazine capacity and 39-inch overall length, it's compact enough for brush hunting or vehicle transport without feeling cramped in your hands. Whether you're drawn to lever actions for their speed of fire, their reliability, or simply the satisfaction of working that action between shots, the Taylor Tuned execution here removes the grit and slop that comes with out-of-the-box guns and gives you a rifle that feels like it was built to shoot.

Taylors & Co manufactures these rifles to exacting standards, and the Taylor Tuned package represents their commitment to hand-finished quality. If you've shot stock lever guns and found the action sticky or the trigger heavy, this is the gun that changes your mind about what a 1873 can feel like.
