                  Yep, fine rifle. Those long barrels on lever guns always grab me.

                      Very nice. I am having second thoughts about lever actions. Beautiful.

                                  "Wayne M" inquired about the Six gun and leather shown with the 1873 posted in the Lever Action section, So I thought I would address that here...

                                              For some reason I believe the Model 1873 is the best looking of the Winchester lever actions.

                                              This even though all I ever saw in the movies growing up were Model 1892s from the studio prop room. Did not matter if the movie was supposed to be pre war between the States. They carried 1892 carbines and Model 1873 Peacemakers.
                                              “After all is said and done, successful rifle shooting on the range is nothing more than first finding a rifle and lot of ammunition which will do precisely the same thing shot after shot, and then developing the same skill in the rifleman.” ~ Capt. E. C. Crossman (The Book of the Springfield)

                                                  The 1873 looks great, but to me the 1886 looks the very best and in 45/70 Govt.!
