THE WINCHESTER MODEL 1873
The reason I chose this gun is for the fact that Winchester will soon, no longer exist. Also know as the Model 73 and more popularly known as "The Gun That Won The West".
Winchester, or to be exact, U.S. Repeating Arms Co. is owned by a Belgium company and will no longer produce lever action rifles. John Wayne is doing flips in his grave.
After hearing the news, I searched for a '73 for sale and found one at $10,000. This is one firearm I wish I owned. Not for the price, but for it's heritage.
