I have the same rifle chambered in .357 Mag. and boy she's a beauty! It quickly became one of my favourite rifles to shoot. Miroku has done an incredible job with these rifles.
Awesome
Nice!
Thanks
I freaking love that ‘73 color case chambered in .357 Mag. So neat and practical being able to shoot .38 too. Must be a fun one to run n gun with in some woodland course. Cowboy and Indian style! 🥳
Yeah, it’s nice. Never did the run and gun like cowboys and Indians
It’s BEAUTIFUL, want one in 40-40, have one (with out that sh-tty safety) but 24” in 38/357 and love it, one of if not my best lever (and I got a lot) God Bless Texas 🤙🏼❤️🇺🇸🤠
Thanks, it sure is.
Beautiful!
Thanks. It’s a very nice shooter.
Good stuff. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks and you’re welcome
What a beauty great video subbed 👍
Thank you
Awesome breakdown
Thanks. It’s sure a fun shooter. Looks nice is just a bonus
I’ve got one of these, on the way… mine is chambered 38/.357. I can hardly wait…
Nice. Plz let me know how you like it.
I’ve got one in 45 colt, 24 “ octagon Sporter mod , in the last couple of years I’ve put around 10,000 rounds through it from standard pressure loads to what they call ruger load , 230 gr & 265 gr cast bullets, and the action is still nice and tight, toggles are still perfect, my favorite load is 3f 265gr Wide flat nose, or 230 gr 7.8 Winchester 231, or 8.5 unique, very nice guns lots of fun. Enjoy,
Cool. Thanks for sharing
What fps are you getting from the 3f 265
@@carsoncole2660 I don’t have a chronograph , I should get one, I reload a lot
@@carsoncole2660 I paid about $1500, about 4 years ago, I think they are still close to that,
Thanks a lot.
YW
I just picked up a Henry Big Boy in . 45 Colt .
I'm still waiting for my Winchester 1873 to come in .
Awesome
Just ordered one in 45 LC
Heck yeah
Awesome rifle - thanks for the review!
Yeah, it’s not to bad.
@@JBJHonez - Midway dropped the price on these for a few hours.. I snagged the last one in 357/38 - within an hour they went right back up.
Nice. That’s awesome!!!
Beautiful '73 Josh! I've yet to handle a Miroku Winchester that wasn't superb and yours looks to follow suit. That short throw action really looks to make a difference too. Very nice rifle Sir! 👍🏻🍻
Thanks. It’s my only one and I’m loving it. Maybe another in the future but not to soon
@@JBJHonez JB & Joe, I've just bought a Sauer 100 Ceratech for precision (long stuff). And, am about to buy a Miroku Winchester .357/38 for fun and just to have! Looks like these Japanese guys make a serious, high-quality replicant. Happy to own one. Thanks for the video. Nice to join your channel. Jamie from Melbourne, Australia.

@@jamiespry7015 be careful, lever rifles are highly addictive 😁
On the market for one of these. I have the Uberti in octogon barrel, but need that carbine! I like how Winchester applies the color case hardening to the other metal components, something Uberti lacks.
They’re nice. I got it to match the ‘73 Pietta Pistol also chambered in 45LC
Sign me up. Actually, re-sign me up. I had a 24” Uberti that I regret selling. Nice video and nice shooting!
😆 Thanks
Finally going to pick this one up today. Ordered last week. FedEx tracking has been my Santa Claus for the last 4 days. LOL!
Nice
Now having this rifle in my hands, I must say it is more beautiful in person than in all the photos I've seen. Hard to let it out of my hands. The only beef I have is the hammer. Should've been case color hardened, or raw steel look to complete the aesthetics. But no big deal. Still the prettiest firearm I now own. Now in the middle of my dreadful California 10 waiting period.
I recently purchased the same model only in 357/38. Couldn't be happier with the fit, finish, and the handling. After hearing your comment about the "short stroke" lever throw do you know if the "competition high grade" is fitted with a shorter lever throw versus the other 1873 models in the line-up? It does appear to be shorter than the competing models from Uberti.
That’s cool. I don’t know, I don’t have any of those to compare it to
When you lever yours, do you notice any resistance with the firing pin on the hammer? Also, when I took my first shots, the cartridge would get a bit hung up between the block and the extractor when ejecting. It smoothed out a little bit, but still hangs up a bit. You have any issues with that? I wouldn't expect something like this considering it being a "competition" model and with that price tag.
Not really. Seems pretty smooth and easy. It felt a little rough at first but the more I shoot it, it gets better
@@JBJHonez I thinks that's the same case here. It cycles a lot better now after shooting 300 rounds and then levering at home another 700 times. LOL! Still slows a bit on the hammer a 1/4 way back in the motion. Just cant figure out why it will not cycle 357 snap caps. Must be a dimension issue that this gun does not like.
@@tagman1 hmm, I’ll have to try some snap caps and see how mine does. I just gotta find them first
I have one in .32 caliber w/ octagon...
Nice. I bet it’s a fun shooter
ARE YOU WEARING A NEUSE SPORT SHOP SHIRT ???? I live in Kinston..
Yup. I live near the one in Cedar Point. Not as nice as the Kinston one. Things are more expensive here due to Emerald Isle and Cape Carteret. They don’t do the blue label here
@@JBJHonez so cool to see you’re close by. We need to get together to shoot sometime. I’ve got a couple of pistols you’ve probably never shot before…
Eastern NC here… too, near New Bern
@@sboy1955yup, about an hour from there
@@Yoda052 that would be cool
What does something like this cost ?
It’s been a good while. Not sure if they’ve went up, which is more than likely
In my opinion, if it’s not an original caliber, it’s not an accurate replica.
Yeah, I can agree with that
It is just fixing what should have been done in ‘73. Pistol and rifle in .45 Colt
@@paulkearney7594 , The 44-40 has a slight bottle neck in the case to better seal against gas blowback. Winchester knew what it was doing. Also the 45 Colt had too small a rim for reliable extraction in the rifle back then.
@@davidgardner863 learn something new everyday. Thanks.
It’s better
