The Winchester 1873 Short Rifle in 357 Magnum with 20-inch barrel and 13-round capacity represents a lever-action platform built on 150 years of proven design. This .357 Magnum rifle combines the ergonomic handling and rapid-fire capability of Winchester's iconic Model 1873 action with modern ammunition versatility—the tube magazine accepts either 357 Magnum or .38 Special rounds, giving shooters flexibility for training, sport shooting, or field applications where caliber interchangeability matters.
The 20-inch round barrel delivers velocity suited to .357 Magnum performance while maintaining manageable overall length and sight radius. A walnut straight-grip stock with satin oil finish and blued steel furniture—including the crescent buttplate and steel cap—deliver authentic 1873 ergonomics: a solid shoulder platform and balanced weight distribution at 9.44 pounds. Semi-buckhorn rear sights paired with a Marble Arms Gold Bead front sight provide a capable open-sight picture optimized for mid-range accuracy. The full-length tube magazine holds 10 rounds of .357 Magnum or 11 rounds of .38 Special, offering meaningful firepower without the profile of a modern tactical rifle.
This Winchester .357 Magnum lever rifle suits shooters seeking a classic-profile rifle with practical cartridge power for sport shooting, handgun caliber rifle events, or hunters preferring lever-action controls in .357 territory. The 1873 action cycles quickly under fire, the ergonomic controls position safety and loading for intuitive manipulation, and .357 Magnum delivers ballistics suitable for medium-game hunting or defensive use at typical engagement distances. Lever-action shooters and .357 Magnum enthusiasts recognize the 1873 platform as a standard-setting option for reliability and historical character combined.
