“1873”

If there's one thing they know over at Uberti USA, its that the humble lever-action rifle is the one platform that never goes out of style. The company now brings the legendary 1873-pattern rifle into the 21st century with its all-new 1873 Hunter Rifle series.

Phoenix Weaponry has announced they are launching reproduction flip-up sights for 1873 Winchester Model No. 62B rifles, and a red-dot mount for Henry rifles.

Think it was the Winchester 1873? The Colt Peacemaker? Nope. Try an airgun.

In this, its 150th year in business, the history of Winchester firearms is well known. After all, “The gun that won the west” was a Winchester, the Model 1873. The Winchester Model 70 is known as the “Rifleman’s Rifle” and the Model 1894 is perhaps the most successful sporting rifle in history. The company also shook up the scattergun market with classic shotguns like the Model 1897, Model 21 and Model 12. The raw truth, however, is that none of these guns could have made their mark in history without ammo to shoot out of them. It’s kind of the red-headed stepchild in terms of glory and glamor, but Winchester has been in the ammo business as long as they have been in the gun business.

Winchester's turning 150, and we've got to say—the company is looking pretty good for its age. As such, it's celebrating the landmark anniversary by bringing an array of legendary firearms to the 145th NRA Annual Meetings & Exhibits in Louisville this weekend.

Davidson's has teamed with Pietta Italia to create three new Exclusive offerings—two single-action revolvers, and a double-barreled coach gun.

It's no secret that Dave Campbell has an affinity for the .44 caliber—both Special and Magnum. But there is an even older .44—specifically the .44-40 Winchester Center Fire—has its place in his heart, too.
