Our Assessment: The Uberti Model 1873 chambered in .45 Colt is a modern reproduction of the iconic Winchester 1873 lever-action rifle, admired for its historic design and practical shooting qualities. Uberti’s version offers period-correct details, sturdy construction, and excellent fit and finish—often featuring a color case-hardened receiver, various barrel lengths, and a capacity of up to 13 rounds. While not the original .44-40 chambering, .45 Colt has become a popular choice for cowboy-action shooters and enthusiasts alike because it provides manageable recoil, readily available ammo, and the convenience of using one cartridge type for both revolver and rifle.
Boogie Gun Works specializes in “tuning” these rifles to enhance smoothness and speed, a must-have for competitive cowboy-action shooting. A typical tune might include a short-stroke kit to reduce lever travel, polished and adjusted internal parts for more reliable feeding, and a refined trigger pull for faster, more accurate shooting. These improvements transform an already solid reproduction into a lightning-fast competition-ready piece, blending the timeless allure of Old West style with modern performance upgrades.
