Sometimes people can go a bit overboard. After all, magnum power doesn’t have to come in magnum
proportions. Introducing the 30 Nosler, a 30 caliber round that packs two tons of power into a standard length action,
firing a 210 gr. AccuBond® Long Range bullet with more than 4,000 ft.-lbs. of energy at the muzzle.
Magnum power now comes standard.
Flat out. Lights out.

It was 150 years ago that the name “Winchester” was rst stamped on a ri e. But
Winchester’s narrative began well before that, and much more has happened since.

What happens when an 85-percent-scale M1911 is paired with the .380 ACP cartridge?
Today’s big-bore AR cartridges up the ante when it comes to bullet diameter and

PRESENTS
T
he Texas Rangers have a reputation as huge as Texas and as wild as the open frontier they helped tame. They embody the rugged spirit, loyalty, and
resourcefulness that defnes Texas as much as it defnes America. From wide-open territory to independent Republic to America’s twenty-eighth state,
the Texas Rangers are true Lone Star heroes. Legendary for their courage and bravery during the chaos of the changing frontier, the Texas Rangers are
the oldest statewide law enforcement agency in America. The Rangers trace their roots back to 1823, when Stephen F. Austin, “The Father of Texas”,
f
wanted to provide protection for the frst settlers in the region. His “rangers” would aid the small Texas militia already in place to protect settlers from
f
criminals and hostile Indians. With their own horses and rifes, Texas Rangers protected the frontier and its new settlers from danger. They had to
f
be mentally and physically tough enough to handle life on the trail.
f
In 1874, Governor Richard Coke organized the Frontier Battalion: six companies of Texas Rangers with seventy-fve men in each
f
f
company. The Frontier Battalion is often called the “frst permanent Texas Rangers.” These Rangers were lawmen who took matters
f
into their own hands. The lawlessness and danger that followed the Civil War made the presence of the Frontier Battalion extremely
f
necessary. Over the next few years, the Texas Rangers maintained peace along the border. They tracked down murderers and
f
outlaws. They arrested stage and train robbers, cattle thieves, and fence cutters. Their jurisdiction spanned all of Texas. Their
f
beat covered more square miles than some countries.
f
Working in cooperation with the Texas Ranger Hall of Fame and Museum in Waco, Texas, America Remembers proudly
f
presents the
Texas Rangers Frontier Battalion Tribute Rife,
an exciting issue honoring these legendary lawmen of the
f
Texas frontier. For this Tribute, we selected the classic Winchester Model ’73 rife in caliber .45LC. The rife features
f
a 24” octagonal barrel, a favorite of collectors. Each rife is decorated by craftsmen commissioned specifcally for
f
f
this project by America Remembers in elegant 24-karat gold and nickel. Winchester discontinued production of
f
the Model ’73 rifes in the early 1900s but they recently reintroduced this Old West classic, and demand is
f
extremely strong. The Model ’73 is arguably the most famous of all Old West rifes. Act quickly in placing your
fffffffyfu’fffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff
reservation for one of these exclusive Texas Rangers Frontier Battalion Tributes.
