The Gun That Won The West: Winchester 73 Test Drive

Ron Spomer Outdoors

Carbon Score: 8.3

The Winchester 73 introduced the centerfire cartridge in a repeating rifle that "Won the West" and went on to dominate American rifle shooting for decades. It's still available and, by golly, it still shoots! 10" gong, 100 yards... Time to go deer hunting.
