Uberti 1873 Competition Rifle Features The Uberti 1873 Competition Rifle .45 Colt sets itself apart with its factory action job and short-stroke lever providing quicker more efficient cycling than standard 1873 models. The shotgun-style buttstock enables rapid shouldering while the gold bead front sight offers immediate visual pickup for fast stage transitions. The A-grade walnut stock and case-hardened receiver maintain the traditional feel and refined handling expected from a tuned lever-action rifle. The 20 octagonal barrel balances maneuverability with the sight radius needed for confident off-hand accuracy. A rubber buttpad adds comfort during extended shooting sessions and the blued barrel integrates seamlessly with case-hardened furniture for a cohesive period-correct appearance. A six-groove 1:16 right-hand twist stabilizes .45 Colt loads effectively. With a 39 overall length and an 8-pound weight the rifle offers excellent control and the responsiveness expected from a competition-ready platform.
