Comanchero is the name Taylor's gives to a stripped down 1873 carbine with a straight stock. This one is chambered in .357 Magnum with a 20 inch barrel. The straight stock has no pistol grip, which gives it a slim, old fashioned feel.

In general, the 20 inch barrel balances well and shoulders fast. Cowboy action shooters like this style for its quick handling.

.357 Magnum offers flexibility. Shoot .38 Special for matches and practice, and use magnum for the woods. A rifle gets more speed from the cartridge than a revolver does, so it's good for deer in close cover.

Taylor's & Company brings in Uberti rifles and adds its own touches, so expect good fit and finish. At this price, it's a rifle for a person who enjoys the details. It looks right at a match, on a wall or on the saddle. Ask your dealer to look over the fit and function at pickup, and run a few boxes of ammunition through it before you rely on it in the field.

The price is high. The listing is new. It ships to your FFL dealer for the background check.
