With straight-wall cartridges becoming a popular choice in formerly shotgun-only states, Uberti is proud to introduce a line specifically dedicated to this form of big-game hunting. Available in .45 Colt and .44 Magnum, the 1873 Hunter Rifle and 1873 Hunter Revolver offer the ability to shoot today’s most cutting edge hunting loads safely and effectively. Both rifle and revolver come with standard open sights, but included in the box is an easily-mounted Picatinny rail for those desiring a scope or a red dot sight.
The 1873 Hunter Rifle comes with a rubber butt-pad, an ergonomic pistol-grip stock, and a 10+1 round capacity tubular magazine. Moreover, the extra-tough all-black action is designed to withstand .44 Magnum pressures (.44 Magnum only. Standard pressure loads are recommended for .45 LC model).
Features & Highlights
Super-Resistant Finish
The proven 1873 action comes in a super-resistant all black finish. Like all 1873 rifles, it also features a dust cover to protect it from dirt, grime and the elements.
Picatinny Rail
For hunters preferring optical sights, the 1873 Hunter Rifle comes with a Picatinny rail included in the box. This can be easily mounted by tapping out the buckhorn sight and screwing it on the tapped octagonal part of the barrel (all hardware included).
