Hawkeye Kid Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 There is a previous thread on the new Miroku Winchester 150th Commemorative for both the 1866 & 1873 model. The Buffalo Bill Center with Navy Arms is also coming out with a Centennial 1873 model. Both are about the same price $3,400. If could only buy one, which one and why?

Dantankerous Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 If you want to use the rifle to compete in Cowboy Action Shooting as your main match rifle you are going to have to choose either the 66 or the 73. If you just want to be different and do not want the rifle to be a main match competition rifle the Centennial 1876 model in 45-60 would be a beautiful gun to have.

Irish Pat Posted January 27, 2016 Share Posted January 27, 2016 I have heard the 66 is really a brass plated 73 it is not a new brass frame rifle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Abilene, SASS # 27489 Posted January 28, 2016 Share Posted January 28, 2016 Both gorgeous. The Turnbull colors pop out at you on the Navy Arns, and the engraving design pops on the other. I'll take one of each Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What 66? If you are talking the Winchester 66 that is coming out? It is decided not a brass plated 73. They don't even look the same so I don't know how anyone would think a 73 regardless of the color is a 66. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
